Abstract

The paper explores the idea and concept of Islamic civilisation and the Islamic Garden, and their implementation in landscape architectural design in the Malaysian context. This project explores how the Islamic Garden design concept can be integrated within landscape design for a diverse society without neglecting the local culture, values, and place identity. Deeply rooted in the symbolic, cultural, and theological foundations of Islamic civilisation, Islamic Gardens have historically represented more than aesthetic beauty. They embody spiritual meaning, philosophical depth, and a connection to nature and divine creation. With origins dating back to the 7th century through the Persian Garden, Islamic Gardens evolved across regions and cultures, adapting to local environmental and social contexts. However, modern landscape practices often overlook these traditional elements. This project investigates how Islamic Garden principles can be revitalised and implemented in contemporary landscape design, particularly in public park and spaces in Pulau Wan Man, Terengganu. The project embeds cultural identity, religious values, and environmental planning that co-exist in the design of landscape spaces. Ultimately, the study emphasises the importance of preserving Islamic heritage through landscape design that reflects both traditional principles and modern needs, ensuring the enduring relevance of Islamic Gardens in diverse urban and cultural contexts
