Hsinchu Harbour Fish Market project fulfills the functions and rational layout of the fish market, restaurants, outdoor stalls, and supporting facilities. Importantly, it also tempers the coastal summer heat and winter monsoons, while harmonizing the local landscapes, fishing harbor operations, recreational spaces, and pedestrian/vehicular circulations.

The sparkling market at Nanliao Fishing Harbor, Hsinchu brings together a myriad of functions including fish market, restaurants, outdoor stalls and ancillary services. The function volumes are unified with a horizontal extension in the form of a sprawling canopy and wind-sheltering walls, resulting in a composition that, while being attentive to the existing harbor landscape, protects its users against the harsh climatic conditions along Hsinchu's coast.

The main design is an enormous wavy canopy made of reinforced concrete, its horizontal undulation integrating the overall landscape and forming an effective rainwater channeling system. The volumes of varying heights and scales extend visually to the "porous" coast, and the building spaces create a layered transition across different experiences. As for landscaping, a modular and transforming unit paving system incorporates clusters of coastal plant species to echo the environmental context and architectural structure. The incrementally ascending pathways and platforms along the waterfront affords a visual and experiential panorama of the port and its bustling fishing operations, in addition to providing a barrier between the port operations and recreational functions.
