steel materials <strong>and</strong> system components form<br />
a contrast <strong>and</strong> dialogue with the abstract<br />
canopied structure. As for the lighting design,<br />
the underside of the canopy is sparingly illuminated<br />
from below <strong>and</strong> the profiles of the arched<br />
walls accentuated. Lighting for the stalls,<br />
however, is intensified so as to turn them into<br />
glowing bodies that float in the night.<br />
Nanliao Fishing Harbor boasts a rich history<br />
of fishery development <strong>and</strong> strong potential<br />
for recreation <strong>and</strong> tourism. Guided by a wellinformed<br />
master plan, several major infrastructure<br />
projects have been completed in<br />
recent years, including a 17-kilometer l<strong>and</strong>scaped<br />
coastline, kite field, sports park, familyfriendly<br />
beach, <strong>and</strong> parking provisions. As a<br />
key facility linking fishery <strong>and</strong> tourism <strong>and</strong><br />
recreation, this new building serves to reorganize<br />
functions <strong>and</strong> respond to the spatial<br />
framework. More importantly, it is a piece of<br />
site-specific vernacular architecture endowed<br />
with a strong identity <strong>and</strong> unrestrained qualities<br />
that are in constant dialogue with the l<strong>and</strong>scape,<br />
sensitive to the microclimate, <strong>and</strong><br />
aligned with local construction technology.<br />
