Initiated by the Association of Humanitarian Architecture, Third Space is the first bamboo structure completed in Taitung by the Taimali Workshop. Combining local natural surroundings and the spirit of collaborative building, it creates an outdoor space that coexists with the forest. Taiwan-made PVC waterproof membrane was custom-cut and installed on-site to form a lightweight outer layer that provides wind and rain protection while offering soft illumination at night, bringing warmth and vitality to the space.

Project Highlights
- Bamboo × Membrane Integration: Combines natural bamboo with high-strength PVC membrane to create a lightweight structure with a natural aesthetic.
- Beautiful Nighttime Glow: The membrane diffuses light to produce a soft, tranquil night atmosphere in the forest.
- Community Co-Build Spirit: Completed by teams and volunteers from various regions and fields, showcasing a high level of integration between spatial design and local participation.
- Weather-Resistant and Safe: Taiwan-made membrane provides waterproof, anti-mold and UV-resistant properties, ensuring long-term outdoor durability.

This collaboratively built bamboo structure demonstrates how customized membrane materials can be beautifully integrated into natural architecture!
