[ [http://www.atelier-3.com/mediawiki/index.php/Design_2003.10_Treasure] - "Atelier 3: Treasure Hill" 10/2003 ] With the policy of preservation and revitalization, the old settlement unfolded a new vision of an artivist compound which would respect the existing fabric of the community while fulfilling the regeneration concept of "symbiosis" to incorporate production and ecology in communal living and ushering in the program of an international youth hostel and creative ideas of art to further cultural exchanges with broader international communities.
