The Heartbroken Architect

The Heartbroken Architect II : Signs Part II (2016-2017)

Following from the set of Prologues, the project continued quietly elsewhere.

I picked it up again during my Writing for Architecture elective in my first year of Masters. We had the option of writing whatever we wanted so long as it was architecture related.

The second series 'Signs’ - a set of postcards was inspired by the Museum of Broken Relationships. This museum was founded in Croatia and displayed relics of past relationships. ‘Signs’ took similar principles, only this time, I’ve looked at photos of places that reminded me of my past relationships of my former love interests. The postcards followed the same metaphor in Prologue - no memory is aligned, only constantly re-shuffled.

There are several sentences that never made it to the final assignment. But I will post them later once this set has been fully published.

The Heartbroken Architect I.V : Prologue II (2016-2017)

This project began in the third year of architecture when we had to create three items to demonstrate a selected concept. Focusing on Ray and Charles Eames’s ‘Power of 10’, I focused on the expression of ‘infinity’ and the disparity of a person’s memory.

The series of sentences were inspired by Sue Zhao’s writing. During one of the lowest points in my studies, I would be reading her short stories which eventually pushed me to write my own. Below are the sentences that document a relationship between two former lovers. Each memory is being written and edited as breakups often make one question their reality of the relationship.

There are a total of three variations of the prologue. All contain a similar ideology: we are always editing and reformatting what we consider to be the truth. This second prologue is a further edit of the original.

This time it is only one memory that has been reshuffled multiple times.

You can find some of my other written words in a similar series “A Mind of His / Her Own” here.
