Founded in 1981, the Institute of Landscape Architects Malaysia (ILAM) is Malaysia’s national professional association for landscape architects, representing more than 1,000 members. We lead the stewardship, planning, and design of built and natural environments across the nation.

The Institute’s mission is to advance landscape architecture and raise the visibility of the profession through advisory support to both public and private sectors. Education, accreditation support, international relations with other professional bodies, awards and recognitions within the industry and conducting seminars are programmes designed to uplift professional standards at all levels.

THE PROFESSION                       

Landscape architecture combines design with the environment, art with science.  It is about everything outside the front door, both urban and rural, at the interface between people and natural systems.


The range of ways in which landscape architects work is staggering. From master planning Olympic sites to planning and managing landscapes like national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty to designing the public squares and parks that we all use, landscape architecture nurtures communities and makes their environment human and liveable.


Landscape architects are broad thinkers who thrive on the big picture. They are playing an increasingly important role in addressing the great issues of our day: climate change, sustainable communities, water, housing and the prevention of hunger. 


Landscape architects are often natural leaders, able to communicate with many professions and leading multidisciplinary projects. Landscape architecture is not just the profession of the future – but the profession for a better future.
