Abstract
The study explores the application of Sarawakian imprints in contemporary architecture, focusing on timber products that reflect this heritage. The decline of Sarawak's timber industry necessitates strategies to strengthen local utilisation. Therefore, the implementation of a design incubation centre is essential to support timber craft talents and preserve Sarawakian timber heritage. The proposed Sarawak Design Incubation Centre aims to serve as a venue for developing design potential and showcasing contemporary timber construction. The design incorporates a main building, academic building, and workshop, interconnected by a plaza featuring a living gallery. This approach not only facilitates education in timber design but also fosters innovation and entrepreneurship within the industry. Through the unique design approach, this paper illustrates the significance of creating a dedicated space to revitalise the timber economy and promote cultural heritage, ensuring that the legacy of Sarawak's traditional craftsmanship is preserved for future generations
