Facade

A facade is the front or exterior face of a building. Figuratively, it refers to a deceptive outward appearance; a misrepresentation of a person's true character or feelings. It can also describe an artificial or superficial way of behaving, often to conceal something unpleasant or undesirable. A facade creates a barrier between the inside and the outside, whether physical or emotional, and is designed to control perception. It emphasizes the importance of appearances over substance.
