SCHEMATIC
PROGRAMMES
base on
concept

system components=organs without body

>creation of networking between things,
result as a whole when complete
>Nolimitation of system components,
the system can be expand

When the components are linked to each

system, it then forms a so called “system component.
The boundary is visually perceived as a whole when the
system is linked. The system components and hollow
form could be said that it depends on each other;
when one forms, another is created
