Where the Tide Carves, Life Returns
Marenova reimagines Zhengbin Harbor’s fish market as a living connection between production, public life, and maritime memory. Its porous volumes bring auction, dining, exhibition, and waterfront activities together, while the long-span roof recalls the harbor’s shipbuilding heritage. The name combines mare, Latin for “sea,” and nova, meaning “new” or “renewed.” It represents new life emerging from the sea not by erasing the past, but by carrying fishing culture into a shared civic future.
