Context
A careful and rigorous search for an immediate response of the mind of an observer usually asks one to investigate and identify issues of intervention. This experimental project focuses on an exploration of the phenomenological and architectonic potential of the abstract elements that will create the “architectonic precision” which has its own manifold trajectories. The concept will be developing as a “system of relation” between the different elements considered.

Project Objective
The project allows designer to engage in a micro-scale work, and become an observer and a collector of information. The designer is asked to select and reveal the mechanics of a moving objects in everyday life. The object selected comprises of component parts that work coherently, and together, helps to eliminate human’s limitation. Therefore, the goals are to enhance skills in developing mechanism and to understand the inter-relationship among constituent parts of the object selected.

‘Expanding the Mechanical System of Pliers-type Stapler’
As a pliers-type stapler is the selected object, its mechanism is developed by duplication. The mechanism originally has a moving part and rotating parts. The moving part has 1-axis movement, thus it is used as a "moving core" in the developed system. Meanwhile, the rotating parts are duplicated by expanding the modules and connecting to the "moving core". As a result, the system could be infinitely expanded under this mechanical pattern.
