Treasure Hill Artist Village, Taipei

寶藏巖國際藝術村 是台北市第一處聚落型態之「歷史聚落」。寶藏巖聚落的地 景特殊性,刻畫出巷弄蜿蜒、階梯緩坡起落、沿著山城構築錯落的風貌。多元的移民族群以漸進的自立營造模式,有機演繹出與地景山勢共構的聚落特質。在既有居 民環山簇居之外,活化保存的政策同時引入「藝術駐地」與「青年會所」創意,希冀「寶藏家園」、「寶藏巖國際藝術村」及「國際青年會所」三大計劃,能以「共 生」精神,創造聚落美好未來。「寶藏巖國際藝術村」規劃了「創作計畫駐地工作室」以公開徵選各類型的創意工作者,提供進駐三至六個月之住宿及工作室,希冀進駐者能經過中長期在地的細緻觀察後執行駐村計畫。2006年《紐約時報》將該聚落納入台北最具特色的景點之一。

 

Treasure Hill Artist Village was listed in 2004 as the first “historic community” by the Department ofCultural Affairs, Taipei City Government. Following on from the event “Taipei Treasure” in 2006 and various research projects in 2007-2009, AIR Taipei officially took over the operation of the THAV in 2010. The unique location of Treasure Hill with its narrow alleys and stairways traversing the hillside, gives THAV a European rural village feel. Over the years, various groups settled the hillside with their own lifestyles and needs creating a tribal-like organic scene. With the existing residents, together with the urban policy of preservation and revitalization, the Artist-in-Residence program and Youth Hostel it is hoped that the parties will collaborate in the spirit of “paragenesis” to create a better future of the entire community. In 2006 Treasure Hill has been featured in The New York Times as one of Taiwan’s must-see destinations。
