Where it came from
The Cities of Wonders series was developed as a curated collection celebrating the unique architectural landmarks that bridge historical tradition and modern expansion within East Asian metropolises. The Hong Kong installment specifically highlights the Sheung Wan Western Market, a structure built in 1906 that stands as the oldest surviving market building in the city. The series was designed to emphasize the Edwardian-style architecture and the ornate red-brick facade of the site, which serves as a poignant contrast to the surrounding glass-and-steel skyscrapers of the Central district.
The artistic direction for this set focuses on the intersection of colonial heritage and local commercial life, utilizing a technical style that captures the intricate details of the market's arches and masonry. Upon its release, the set was noted by architectural enthusiasts and local historians for its commitment to documenting the aesthetic evolution of Sheung Wan. It is widely regarded as a tribute to the resilience of heritage sites that have successfully transitioned from utilitarian origins into creative and artisanal hubs.
