Cradled within the rhythm of the rainforest, this model tells the story of Interwoven Worlds - where one man’s search for meaning meets the wisdom of the Temiar, one of Malaysia’s Orang Asli communities. The building serves as a response to the challenges faced by the Temiar: the loss of ancestral land, the erosion of traditions, and economic vulnerability.

 

Envisioned as a space for cultural preservation, knowledge exchange, and healing, the proposal offers room for ceremonies, storytelling, weaving, and communal gatherings, while opening a respectful dialogue with outsiders who come to learn.
