THE DAWN: Taiping Heritage Exploration – Digitalisation and Appreciation of Wondrous Narratives

Last year, our project team was awarded a grant from the Malaysian National Commission for UNESCO to conduct a project that we call “THE:DAWN” – “Taiping Heritage Exploration: Digitalisation and Appreciation of Wondrous Narratives”. This project was done by four lecturers: our project leader LAr. Gs. Dr. Norhanis Diyana Nizarudin, Assoc. Prof. LAr. Dr. Putri Haryati Ibrahim, Dr Haza Hanurhaza Md Jani, and me, together with our 22 amazing Landscape Architecture students, as part of our Landscape Heritage and Cultural Studies course.

Our aim was simple – to document the heritage of Taiping and make it accessible and experiential for the public to learn. Our physical exhibition in KAED back in October 2022 was attended by at least 1,463 visitors within a week. Thank you to everyone who came and supported our project!
