Abstract

Public art involves a collaboration of stakeholders, promotes a sense of community and contributes to a substantial public realm. Therefore, to investigate the aesthetic and functional values of public art in the local context, this paper reviews several public art projects in Malaysia, as reference studies. It examines the various dimensions of public art typology and significance roles of the public art installation. The outcome of this paper is hoped to provide a better understanding and appreciation of public art among stakeholders that lead to more successful implementation for a better quality of the public realm in the urban spaces.
