I think it goes without saying that architects are a romantic bunch; a hopelessly romantic balance of form and function. And if you’re like me, you love the profession with all the firmness, commodity, and delight you can muster. Last year, Twitter stole my heart along with everyone else with the fabulous #hashtag lovefest that was #architectvalentines 2012. So, on this Valentine’s Day I suggest we all try to share the love once again. I’ll start. Yesterday I posted a few expressions of my affection over at Houzz (jump HERE to check those out. ) And, below are a few more cards to get you in the mood. Try to imagine them being read to you by Ryan Gosling. Trust me, it helps.

Feel free to add your own in the comment section or tweet your architectural love on the Twitters using the hashtag #architectvalentines . On Feb. 14th, I’ll do my best to assemble some of my favorites of your suggestions and post them here. (@simonong has already warmed my heart with his own contribution).

So Have fun! XOXOXref

And remember: “Love means never having to say you’re Saarinen“.
