Plant factory with artificial light PFAL is an advanced facility has been developing through many research based on experimental field work in greenhouses as fully insulated and the airtight production facility. PFAL is one form of “closed plant production system” (CPPS) unit. It is a system where the growing environment optimally controlled and therefore, can provide various type of crops in different climatic conditions at a higher production level.The standard PFAL only use artificial lighting to provide the plant with the light required for photosynthesis needed for growth. The research by design intends to fill the gap between the architecture, agriculture and environmental studies and to reproduce the PFAL in a Hybrid lighting system to benefit from solar light and in combination with an hydroponic farming technique .
