The contradiction between technology and representation in the tectonics of architecture shows that the ethics of tectonic design is based on anatgonistic approaches. Similar to this, the value system of the tectonics of bodies in love can also be contradictory. However, love can be more open to different arrangements of materiality and meaning. Because Marcel and Albertine's love in M. Proust's novel "In Search of Lost Time" can be seen as going beyond these antagonistic approaches, this article analyzes the different arrangements of materaility and meaning in the different phases of their love and reflects them as possible arrangements of technology and representation comparable to architectural tectonics. This reflection makes the discussion of different approaches to the value system of architectural tectonics possible.
