Explanation:
A "scape" according to Webster's is: "an
extensive view, scenery," or "a picture or representation" of such a view..."

This one is kind of tricky.

Wallscapes are new generation billboards(see: www.adsmartoutdoor.com/wallscapes.htm and
www.sailingbillboards.com/wallscapes/). Unlike conventional billboards which are mostly wooden panels, wallscapes are made from special mesh material, and some more advanced wallscapes are actually digitalized (see: http://sanfrancisco.bcentral.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2001/0...

Although I'm not too fond of using the word "papan",a few possible translations are:

1. Papan dinding (problem is, some conventional billboards are also put on walls.)
See: www.dbkl.gov.my/Lesen/Baru/lesen_iklan.htm
and
www.mpaj.gov.my/piagam.htm

2. Iklan dinding
