Summary:
Unfolding across five parts, this issue frames the notion of pseudo along and beyond its ties with the "fake". While part one, "Simulation," blends the artificial with the familiar – whether in scale models or controlled biomes – the following part, "Promise," explores how futures are staged to organise the present.

Summary:
Unfolding across five parts, this issue frames the notion of pseudo along and beyond its ties with the "fake". While part one, "Simulation," blends the artificial with the familiar – whether in scale models or controlled biomes – the following part, "Promise," explores how futures are staged to organise the present. "Role" examines how identities become naturalized through space, claiming to be neutral, caring or traditional. "Scam" investigates architecture and urbanism as credible deceptive practices, where authenticity is fabricated and images pave the way for a collective participation in illusions. "Construction" examines how territorial interventions, such as camps, corridors, or quarries, produce political realities and stabilise power, turning narration into infrastructure. Ultimately, pseudo emerges as a condition that both shifts and suspends reality: not fully true, yet never entirely false.

Summary:
In this edition, we turn our attention to institutions, legacies and the individuals who shape how design is seen, understood and remembered. At the Triennale Design Museum in Milan, an ambitious programme under Stefano Boeri and Marco Sammicheli has reasserted the relevance of archives and exhibitions alike. We explore two major retrospectives staged during Milan Design Week: a survey of Lella and Massimo Vignelli, whose rigorous modernism reshaped graphic design on both sides of the Atlantic, and a closer look at the work of Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby. Elsewhere, we consider how design operates as a cultural practice as much as a commercial one. Bianca Saunders and Andu Masebo, both working in London across fashion and furniture respectively, reflect on identity, making and the city as a source of influence. We also turn to contemporary anxieties around technology, with an opinion piece unpacking the limitations and implications of so-called ‘AI slop’.

The current edition collects 24 works completed in 2025, organised in six thematic blocks and selected according to criteria of architectural quality, technical rigour, constructive innovation, and urban relevance. Four refurbishments adapt historical buildings to the current safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards, optimizing their technical and environmental performance. Another four territorial interventions – a railway station, a port project, and two public parks – address the infrastructural complexity through connectivity strategies, landscape regeneration, and metropolitan coordination.

Summary:
For the past three years, the Spain Yearbook has been complemented by a special edition of AV Monographs that is an invitation to travel the world through twelve foreign works presented by Luis Fernández-Galiano, who reflects on the uncertain contemporary landscape. The year has been marked by political,turmoil in the US, but there have been other relevant issues on the international level, such as the unstoppable rise of China and the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. The buildings of the year include long-awaited landmarks such as Heneghan Peng's Grand Egyptian Museum, Norman Foster's JPMorgan Headquarters in New York, and Sou Fujimoto's ring for the Osaka Expo; typological revisions by Herzog & de Meuron at Calder Gardens, OFFICE for the Swiss television, and Diller Scofidio+Renfro at the Victoria & Albert Storehouses; cultural refurbishments such as those by Nouvel in Paris, Pihlmann in Copenhagen, and MAD in Rotterdam; and the tectonic displays of Grafton Architects in Fayetteville, Vector Architects in Jingdezhen, and Aidia Studio in Nicolás Bravo.

Summary:
"Vivienda industrializada" focuses on housing and industrialization, opening with an article by Eduardo Prieto on the possibilities and boundaries of this practice, still today caught between the promise of technology and the logistical inertia of conventional construction. In this context, a selection of six projects completed in Spain explores different ways of integrating design, manufacture, and assembly within the residential sector, in a progression ranging from the domestic to the collective. That same pragmatism is evident in the work of British architects Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates, whose practice is explored here through their recent projects.

Summary:
This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.

Summary:
The Paris-based architecture firm Experience is headed by Tristan Chadney, Laurent Esmilaire, and Éric Lapierre. They describe their approach towards architecture as cultural and typological, where they venture in search of the “marvellous”. Experience’s meditations on architectural form are so rational that they sometimes loop into the surreal, a paradox apparent in the nineteen works presented in this issue: Palaiseau Student Housing, Chris Marker Residence, Berthelot Collective Housing, Verdeaux School Complex, and more. Notably, the firm imagines housing not as a mechanical repetition of units but as a system of heterogenous parts akin to a living organism.
