1.2 STATEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL PROBLEM
In an industrial building of
this nature, it is impossible to solve all architectural problems
involved. However, every building has a general architectural problem
that has to be solved towards the realization of the design. But, there
are some specific problems that are unique to individual projects, for
example a paint factory.
Subsequently, the core problem this project
seek to solve is centered on its purpose; a compromise between man and
machine. And this involves a careful flow in the synthesis of:
o Efficient work flow
o Making a statement to the society reflecting the mass production nature of the paint factory.
o Advertising the paint products to the society as well as creating a welcome impact.
o Expressing orderliness and aesthetic appeal.
o
Creating openness in plant to give an impression of attractive working
conditions, efficient production and painstaking devotion to the
excellence of paint products.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
The principal
objective of this project is to provide an environment capable of
meeting the needs of the people of Makurdi and Nigeria as a whole by
providing them with a well defined paint factory which is ultra-modern
and which will meet their several needs in terms of seeking a solution
for good appearance and packaging of good products.
Other objectives include:
 To create versatile, adaptable and flexible form for easy expansion with minimum damage.
 To provide a good production layout with no conflict between raw and finished goods and personnel in circulation.
 To create an ideal factory architecture and to introduce a level of automation in the proposed paint factory in Nigeria.

Finally, to help in the state and Federal Government Programme in rural
development and this could be achieved through industrial development.
1.4 MOTIVATION
Establishing
a house or a commercial space does not stop at having the edifice
erected on a piece of land. This is since you have to make sure that
your structure preserves its excellent condition so that you can enjoy
your investment for a long time. There are many industrial methods that
you can do to keep your home or your workspace in good condition, but
one of the most effective steps that you should take is to have your
walls re-applied with the right paint.
For decades now, net and
sprays have been the only effective methods for controlling the
mosquitoes that causes malaria and dengue. I think by introducing the
factory, it will lay more emphasize on protection by inventing a way of
embedding pesticide in microcapsule stirred into house paints. And this
insecticide will be realized slowly from the paint and will remain
effective for two to four years, while spray will be typically
re-applied at least every 6 months. The paint will act like a vaccine
for houses and buildings.
The minute amount of pesticides released from the paint won’t be harmful to people but will be devastating to insect.
The
introduction or provision of paint factory in Makurdi will help to
increase the effectiveness of other producing industries around e.g.
• Most industries producing steel and aluminum building cladding.
• For yatch, small boats and craft, fishing fleets manufacturers.
• For most petrochemical plants-protective coating
• For all kinds of vessels that visit Nigeria port.
• For manufacturers of refrigeration, bicycles, other household articles, drums and industrial components – powder paints.
• For building industries etc
Therefore,
one should realize that this material is utilized in many industries
and that such service industry should be established for the propagation
of other.
Finally, I intend to increase the awareness of this
service industry in Nigeria, and that’s what prompted my motivation
towards proposing this project.
