The Architecture of Meaning Collapse

هندسة انهيار المعنى

By Architect Imad Darouich

A meditation written like a demolition: the speaker takes down, one wall at a time, the night, the line between good and evil, the idea of truth, and finally meaning and language, until a table, a die, a glass and a clock are emptied too and nothing turns out to have been standing.

About This Book

Spoken by the narrator in short, hard declarations, this book sees the night as a wall that seals meaning, an architectural decision to stop light, inside which he is redesigned. It removes good and evil like flawed walls, calling them an error of perception drawn by an eye seeking certainty, and then turns to truth, which is designed and then believed, and to meaning, a luxury invented by those afraid of the void. Every complete sentence becomes an attempt to hide a fracture, and every definition another wall around what cannot be contained. Ordinary objects lose their roles in turn: the table only conceals the void elegantly, the dice redistributes illusion, the clock postpones collapse, and cities accumulate over uncorrected errors. The book ends with truth as the disappearance of the road itself, and with its closing line: nothing collapsed, because nothing was ever standing.

I observe how it hides within language.

I write to collapse the need for understanding.

I write to reveal that the structure never existed.
