Using 240 sheets of paper and 740 meters of cable, the 2015 "X-Site Project" first-prize winner "Unknown Territories" erected a massive paper structure in front of the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, creating 139 spatial images representing mountains, cities, and rooms—like a world of paintings—that invites visitors to the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts to enjoy the most beautiful views of Taipei over a three-month period.

Every year, the "X-siteProject" selects one first-prize-winning work through a public call and jury review that explores how architectural elements can reshape the "public nature of squares," which is then installed in the museum’s front plaza. This year,31teams participated in the competition,2015and the first prize was awarded to "Unknown Territories." Winners Chiu Yu-wen and Hsu Wei-lun stated that this work drew inspiration from the paintings of architectural artist Chen Chi-kwan and sought to transform historical imaginings of ancient cities into a meeting space between the material and the immaterial, responding to this year’sX-sitetheme "Meeting Points" (Meeting Point).
