Abstract

Laman KAED forms an integral part of the spatial identity and communal character of the Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED) at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). Nevertheless, several areas within the courtyard remain underutilised and lack functional integration within students’ daily academic and social activities. This study therefore explores strategies to enhance the functionality and usability of Laman KAED in order to transform it into a vibrant, inclusive, and purposeful environment. Data collection methods included surveys, site observations, and questionnaires to examine user needs, spatial preferences, and patterns of space utilization. The findings are expected to inform design interventions that encourage a sense of Tuma'ninah tranquility, serenity, and emotional balance while simultaneously strengthening the role of the courtyard as an active communal hub within the campus environment. Ultimately, the project aspires to establish a multifunctional landscape that supports social interaction, well-being, entrepreneurship, and community engagement in alignment with the holistic educational values of IIUM.
