The importance of concept in the landscape design process in Malaysia.

Proper designs usually come from a sound concept, though some of Malaysian landscape design projects are carried out by disregarding its conceptual development. Therefore, concepts are not well defined and well-tied to their site context which results in the final design products are rendered useles...
