Hello, I’m MUHAMMAD LUTHFI
I had obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Architecture (Hons.) from UiTM Seri Iskandar, Perak, Malaysia in 2023, as a Second Class Upper Graduate.
Over the past two years, I have dedicated myself to the field of architecture, gaining valuable experiences through internships and professional practices in various type of projects. My design approach revolves around harmonizing cultural heritage with modern aesthetics, creating functional, sustainable, and visually compelling design.
With a strong passion for architecture shaped by academic studies, hands-on experiences, and a commitment to continuous learning and professional growth, I believe this combination aligns perfectly with my aspirations in the field.
I am excited and look forward on the journey to broaden my knowledge, develop my skills, and make meaningful contributions in taking the next step toward achieving my dream of becoming an inspiring architect.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is to design AFC Youth Training Centre & Academic Centre of Excellence in Putrajaya . This project is based on a real project of AFC+FIFA Mini Stadium, as an idea to add value and strength of the AFC Programme which is now in design stage.
This semester project’s programme and spaces may consist of office, educational facilities, football training facilities(physical) ; fitness & gym, galleries, accommodation, retail & other supporting facilities that relate to the program according to this semester’s theme Sports – Football based sports + Recreation.

CONCEPT
EVOLVING IN DYNAMISM
“Dynamism” refers to the quality of being dynamic, or characterized by constant change, activity, and progress. The concept of dynamism in architecture is a concept that adds the life to the design by controlling in the dynamic strength of fixed elements, and guiding the user’s eye in the project in an infinite experiment.
In the context of football, evolving in dynamism means constantly improving and adapting one’s playing style to stay ahead of the game. Football is a constantly evolving sport, with new tactics, techniques, and strategies emerging all the time. Players who are able to embrace and adapt to these changes are more likely to succeed and stay competitive.
In summary, the simmilarities of evolving in dynamism in football and architecture are dynamic, adaptable and continuity.

The site located in Putrajaya, specifically at Presint 5, Putrajaya near to Putrajaya International Convention Centre, administrative building and residential area, with sufficient urban context.
Site Plan
An early sketches illustrating the main conceptual idea of movement evolving and the dynamic of the building.
At each of these conceptual layout sketches, each responded differently while maximizing the output of the concept in order for a decision to be made: whether to go centralized or linear, focusing on passive stratergies and accesibility.
IDEATION 1 — DYNAMIC
Movement of a building is known as Dynamic Architecture and it involves a fourth dimension–time. Dynamic forms refer to architectural designs that emphasize movement, fluidity, and a sense of change, creating visually engaging spaces that can evoke emotions and responses.

IDEATION 2 — ADAPTIVE CONTINUITY
A concept that has its roots in Contextualism. It is an approach to architecture and the design of the urban environment that uses the process of analysing and understanding the nature and the qualities of place to develop new elements.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project requires students to design a Vertical Student’s Accommodation in Seri Iskandar that is safe, secure and also offers better facilities for study.
Students are required to develop their own design brief. Through design workshop, full design components will be developed by students based on the case study, design guideline, and other related design requirements.

CONCEPT
AXIS AS MOVEMENT
In architecture, axis as movement refers to the directional flow and spatial organization that guide circulation and interaction within a built environment. It shapes how users experience and navigate a space while establishing a harmonious connection with its surroundings.
Response to Site Surroundings – The movement axis aligns with existing natural or urban elements, enhancing integration and responsiveness to the context.
Inclined to Follow Site Nature – The axis adapts to the site’s topography, climate, and natural features, ensuring fluid and organic movement.
Connect and Coexist to Promote Oneness with Surroundings – The design fosters seamless transitions between built and natural environments, reinforcing unity and experiential continuity.
