Gushan Fish Market
C.M CHAO ARCHITECT&PLANNERS
Architecture, Building and Structure Design Gushan Fish Market by C.M CHAO ARCHITECT&PLANNERS Gushan is a renovated fish market building in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, completed in June 2023. The century-old entrance structure was preserved, so visitors can see the original Dutch-style brickwork on arrival. The main volume is designed as a transparent box surrounded by a 270-degree sea view. Double glazing reduces energy use, and fused glass on the exterior walls creates a water-like, bubbled surface. The site now houses a ferry station and an exhibition and sales center for agricultural and fishery products.
