Conserving NatureDesign towards sustainability becoming an agenda in the 21st century. Thus, many landscape designers stress on its significance in their works. This is due to the fact that landscape planning has become synonym with action to conserve interesting resources of the places. However, it depends on how well do we deal with this valuable resources. Hugh (2010) posits that conservation can be wrapped up into a single sentence: what should be done, in what place, at what time, using what mechanism and for what outcome. Therefore, it is referring to what and how we do to achieve a sustainable way. The final landscape project (LAN3902) exercise is an ultimate final year student’s work for completing their Bachelor of Landscape Architecture programme in University of Putra Malaysia. The work emphasises designing a landscape space towards better conservation and landscape planning. In addition, the objectives of this landscape final project is emphasised on the aspect of assessment, planning, design, and management of landscape area. In order to gain skill and competency, the students’ works on landscape design should be acceptable for existing and future landscape environment. With a theme of the conservation landscape, the students were required to take consideration on the existing natural landscape condition and provide creative sustainable approaches for their design solution of the artwork.
