I had a daydream today while discussing the PLF Foundation with Muna. Suddenly, I saw it. The PLF Foundation, a building, 8 stories high, sitting like a pearl in the middle of a sea of green, a circular garden that serves as outdoors classrooms.
There are Pangkin Ilmu that dot the garden for low-tech, unplugged learning. Each pangkin can fit 10 people and can be used for Labs, informal learning and just picnics.
The garden is connected to the building via covered pathways with a variety of tropical flowers that emit different smells. The garden is connected via covered pathways to the building.
On the trees, there are bird houses and birdbaths to attract the local birds to sing while we learn. Squirrel sheds provide shelter to squirrel families rain or shine.
(Muna's house is 5 minutes away)
The foundation building itself is designed to be a green building using fibre optics and solar panels to maximise sunlight intake, fibre optic and LED lighting and a rainwater harvester on the roof.
The roof is a garden and has a water catchment under the grass and serves as an open classroom for Muna's bootcamp classes and my Senaman Tua sessions. There are lookout points around the sides of the roof with mini pangkins at every corner.
On the seventh floor is the foundation's offices and PLF meeting rooms.
The sixth floor is all breakout rooms.
The fifth floor is an event hall for PLF graduations, mastery and showcases.
The fourth floor is the library and documentation unit.
The third floor is a gym and sauna.
The second floor is rented out.
The first floor is for the canteen and shopping.
The ground floor is for maintenance, entrance and the PLF Exhibit, a dedicated exhibit to the PLF concept and history.
Three levels of basement parking to maximise garden space and minimise outdoor parking. It will be lit by natural lighting via fibre optics and mirrors.
All the windows will use solar panel film and fibre optics to make full use of the energy coming in. All filtered rainwater will be used for washing in the toilets.
Everywhere in the building there will be things to touch and play with, to hear, see and smell. Just walking through it will be an experience.
Can you see it? I can.
