Description
Summary:University is a centre of progress and innovation that needs to emphasize sustainability to improve the community socially, environmentally and economically as a whole. Lack of facilities in terms of infrastructure, and weaknesses of management systems that are not in line with sustainability characteristics, can influence the quality of education and convenience of the campus community. Therefore, the idea of Typographic Landscape Design (TLD) is proposed to overcome the problem of lack of space on campus. It is a functional typographic installation that combines letters, expressed in a three-dimensional format to interact with the landscape. This research initiative aims to identify students' perceptions of the integration of typography and landscape (Typographic Landscape Design) in Universiti Teknologi of MARA (UiTM) Perak campus in Seri Iskandar. The main objectives are to identify students' preferences on the location of the sustainable TLD and determine the importance of integrating the typography and landscape (TL) in the faculty open area. This research uses a mixed-method approach where both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Surveys using three-dimensional visuals of TLD questionnaires and interviews are used to see the respondents’ perceptions of the sustainability of landscape areas on campus. It has been distributed among 160 respondents and supported by interviews with 30 respondents.
