Greening the Landscape Spaces with the Paradox of Cultural and PeopleMaulan, Suhardi (2011) Greening the Landscape Spaces with the Paradox of Cultural and People. Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2011, 3. pp. 94-95. ISSN ISSN : 2180-0685 Official URL: http://www.vlmp.upm.my AbstractIn this era of greening (or re-green) the built environment, often the priority of landscape architects or planners alike would be on the relationship of the design with environmental quality. Regrettably, it is observed that in many cases, less attention is given to the cultural values of the sites in the design process even though the tenet of sustainability is about dynamic interactions among environment, economy and society (read culture). In our pursuit for environmental sustainability, the paradox will be: can we generate green design while keeping the local culture of a particular site intact? These five projects try to answer this particular question because the project sites are located in the areas where the preservation of the environmental quality is the main concern and yet the local culture is so rich waiting to be celebrated.
