The joints for this exhibition will represent the perspective of top-down creation to button-up creation, which mean is how elite created the joints for their idea, and how people adapt stander industrialize production to create their need. These ten joints for exhibition will show how people apply the joint and build their project, the process of applying joints in both group(elite and normal people) will have totally different attitude. Each joint will be transform to different result from original purpose because of people’s
