| Summary: | The Malays are well known for their craftmanship in building traditional houses. As time passed by, the tradition is still kept on.
A glimpse on Malay tradition, it is a ritual that has been produced in the same manner "over the years, passes through generations. It is "adat" or a way or behavioural norm of the Malays. In short, the Malay tradition has been kept the same style through several generations. Equally fascinating is the creation of the traditional landscape around the house.
In this final studies the main core is focussed to the landscape of traditional Malay architecture. At the end of the study, I hope some obvious trend in traditional Malay house landscape could be understood and highlighted. This is a need to identify the role of landscape in traditional malay architecture in terms of space barrier,communal integration close to nature feeling and others.
As there is no specific document on malay traditional landscape, I hope this studies will help in recording the use of local plants in Malaysia as well others exotics from others countries which-have been adopted for local use.
