Synergy of Art & Strategic Collaboration: KAED IIUM Students’ Mural Touch Brightens Up I-KPKT Building
The surroundings of the Housing and Local Government Training Institute (I-KPKT) now feature a fresher and more vibrant aesthetic following the successful execution of the I-KPKT Building Mural Project 2026 from 10 to 15 August 2026.
This premises beautification initiative is the result of a strategic collaboration between I-KPKT and public university partner, the Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The stunning visual artwork across three main walls of the institute complex was fully completed by young talents from KAED IIUM.
Transformation of Three Main Walls Centred on Identity & Sustainability
The project successfully transformed three blank wall surfaces into visual architectural artwork rich in colour and local identity:
- “Rasa Malaysia” Mural: Combining depictions of the nation’s iconic architectural landmarks with a variety of local culinary heritage, symbolising cultural diversity and Malaysian harmony.
- Floral Motifs & Natural Patterns: Injecting elements of vibrant tropical foliage and flowers that refresh the physical landscape surrounding the I-KPKT building blocks.
A Platform for Student Talent & Smart Agency-Academia Collaboration
Beyond enhancing the aesthetic appeal of I-KPKT’s environment, this project served as a practical platform for KAED IIUM students to express their creativity, hone teamwork skills, and translate built environment design concepts into a real-world public service setting.
The management of I-KPKT extends its highest appreciation and gratitude to all parties involved, particularly the leadership of KAED IIUM and the students for their solid commitment to making this mural project a success. It is hoped that the synergy and smart collaborative relationship between I-KPKT and IIUM will remain sustainable through various high-impact projects in the future.
