Nestled in the heart of Malaysia, Teluk Intan boasts a rich tapestry of cultural heritage and natural beauty. The town’s historical significance, embodied by iconic landmarks such as the “Menara Condong” leaning tower, reflects a blend of traditional charm and modern aspirations. Amidst this backdrop lies the historical canal area, once a bustling hub of activity and commerce. However, over time, the canal has faced neglect, presenting both challenges and opportunities for revitalization.

- Final Proposal | Tourism Center | Urban Oasis 03
CANAL
The design intention for the wetland landscape integrated with architecture in Teluk Intan’s city center near Menara Condong is to revive and reconnect the area with its historical natural heritage while addressing the current lack of natural elements in the urban fabric. B y reintroducing elements of the historic canal and transforming the surrounding urban space into a vibrant wetland landscape, the project aims to create a green space in the town area. Architectural interventions such as visitor centers, recreational amenities, and cultural spaces will be seamlessly integrated within this natural context, providing both locals and tourists with a restorative experience that celebrates the region’s natural diversity and cultural uniqueness. Through sustainable design principles, community engagement, and promotion of environmental awareness, the project seeks to rev italize the city center, promote a sense of place, and establish a new landmark that embodies Teluk Intan’s commitment to preserving and showcasing its natural heritage.
