Shape CHALLENGE

Helping a heritage market hall reveal its authentic identity.

The building’s past and its role as a public market offered a rich starting point. The goal was to bring that history closer to locals and visitors while encouraging conscious consumption.

Shape APPROACH

A timeline expressed through approachable pop illustration.

The mural connects the building’s past and future through a geometric visual language designed to engage people of different ages. Illustration turns the architecture into a more open and legible story.

Shape PROCESS

A marketplace imagined as an exchange of ideas, cultures, and value.

Sketching, brainstorming, and visual exploration expanded the idea from a physical destination into a community platform. Typography, editorial layouts, and environmental graphics shaped a lively, approachable, and collaborative identity.
