Abstract

Landscape design of Kek Lok Si Chinese Temple symbolizes the hidden meaning of the coalition between heaven and humanity. The meaning of “impermanence of life” is being portrayed from the cyclical natural process of Death-Rebirth in Buddhism perspective through the landscape design. The aim is to create a comfortable and peaceful environment through the unique forms and patterns of soft and hardscape elements. Culturally sensitive landscape design intervention in the midst of modern economic development will ensure that the Malaysian cultural heritage will not become the ‘victim’ of unfit tourism development.
