K11 Fairyland Playscape: Exploring Future Playspace (Toy as Architecture | Part 2)

This work was inspired by the “Journey to the West”(西遊記), a Chinese classic literature which depicts the adventure of the legendary character Monkey King. Manfred Yuen, founder of Groundwork, read the novel when he was 10, brought “Yushan” (玉山), the ethereal place from the story Jade Mountain, into the real world.
