| NEW TAIWAN |
Lab architecture studio is one of four
practices shortlisted for the design of two
port developments on the north coast of
Taiwan. The redevelopment includes Fugee
fishing port, with a tourist fish market, and
Batoutz fishing port, with an ocean culture
plaza and tourism port. The new facilities are
part of a wider range of government
sponsored initiatives to provide new
ecologically based tourist infrastructure on
the island. Lab’s entry proposes two
organizational models based on the
traditional Taiwanese village fish market –
filamental figure and striated field – as a
way of re-conceptualising the local
community identity and image.

| SHOAL FLY BY |
“Walking down La Trobe Street the other day,
out of the corner of my eye, I’m sure I saw a
shoal of fish fly by”. Bellemo and Cat has
won an urban art competition for Melbourne’s
Docklands, with Shoal Fly By, a series of five
sculptures that will stretch along the Harbour
Esplanade. The first piece, due to be installed
at the end of November, is a large twisted net
of stainless steel and pink expanded metal
mesh. The architects describe it as a loose
sketchy drawing in steel swimming in the air.
“Viewed from certain angles, water will be
trapped in this steel net, only to slip through
at other points to reveal the sky.” Mark Burry
and Andrew Maher at RMIT’s SIAL helped to
develop the models into buildable form.
