about
ILAM
For the past 30 years, Landscape Architects have often been the unsung
heroes of Malaysias development projects. These passionate
individuals work tirelessly to balance the needs of the environment
alongside the construction of physical features such as buildings and public
spaces.

The Landscape Architecture profession in Malaysia was initially formed

under the name Angkatan Landskap Arkitek Malaysia (ALAM), on 24
September 1981. This group comprised various professionals, semiprofessionals, students and private individuals who shared a passion for
organising and developing green spaces. In 1982, ILAM was accepted as a
member of the Malaysian Professional Centre or Balai Ikhtisas Malaysia
(BIM). Subsequently, international recognition came by becoming a member
of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) and the
International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1984. With an
increasing number of local graduates from Landscape Architecture courses,
there was a need to move the association forward to represent all new and
existing members.

history

The origin of today's profession of landscape architecture can be traced to

the early treatments of outdoor space by successive ancient cultures, from
Persia and Egypt through Greece and Rome. During the Renaissance, this
interest in outdoor space, which had waned during the Middle Ages, was
revived with splendid results in Italy and gave rise to ornate villas, and great
outdoor piazzas.
These precedents greatly influenced the chateaux and urban gardens of
17th-century France, where landscape architecture and design reached new
heights of sophistication and formality. For the first time, the garden
designers became well known. Andre le Notre, who designed the gardens at
Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte, was among the most famous of the early
forerunners of today's landscape architects.

history
Frederick Law Olmstead
The history of the profession is often considered
to truly begin with Frederick Law Olmsted, who
rejected the name "landscape gardener" in favor
of the title of "landscape architect. In 1863,
official use of the designation "landscape
architect" by New York's park commissioners
marked the symbolic genesis of landscape
architecture
as
a
modern
design
profession.Olmsted was a pioneer and visionary
for the profession. His projects, which illustrate
the highest of professional standards, include the
design of Central Park in New York with Calvert
Vaux in the late 1850's and the U.S. Capitol
Grounds in the 1870's. Olmsted and his firm
advanced the concept of parks as well-designed,
functional, public green spaces amid the grayness
of the urban areas.
