The [heart shaped structed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbreak-crystal) that you will be seeing as you are walking through Times Square was designed by [Young Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-house). The structure is called 'Match-maker' and is the attraction that will be featured in Times Square in New York City. The design will be the feature for the [annual Times Square Valentine's Day installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flower-market-20) for lovers in the Big Apple.

The design is made in collaboration with Kammental. The Brooklyn-based designers describe that "Match-Maker will cosmically connect people this Valentine's Day. Guided by their zodiac signs, visitors arrange themselves at twelve point around the heart-shaped sculpture." It seems like a very romantic way to spend Valentine's Day. The symmetrical structure is complex, and it changes as you experience the structure from different angles.
