After having been abandoned for years, the factory is now seeing a turn in fortune. The factory had the potentials of a long-span structure and its earthy texture. It became a desirable place to visit for many artists. Thus, the factory transforms from an industrial relic into a contemporary art museum. The reconstruction area is a rectangle shape of about 3800 sq.m. It includes three factories and a few unequal-sized storage areas. There were hardly any trees and plants, because there is a civil air defense facility under the concrete floor.
