Abstract

This paper presents the process of implementing a communal landscape design project for a low-cost flat in Selangor. The project aimed to rejuvenate the existing communal area into a unique outdoor landscape space that is vibrant in use, comfortable, and beautiful. There are five main phases in the process of implementing the project: (1) planning and site selection, (2) site inventory and analysis, (3) design proposal, (4) presentation of project to the client and the residents’ management body (JMB), and (5) implementation of the project on-site. The project involved the cooperation of various groups, including the client, local authority, the students from the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture programme and ARCLA Society, the academic staff of IIUM, and Selayang Mulia flat residents at Batu Caves. As part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) to encourage academic staff and students to be engaged in a community project, this communal landscape project has promoted a sense of place to the residents.
