Abstract
This thesis is intended to investigate and explore the various
architectural problems and the processes involved in Furniture Making and to
provide some suitable solutions. Basically, the programme is aimed at
covering up the design of a furniture factory for the production of school
and office furniture to be sited at the light Industrial area of Zaria,
The choice of Zaria as a site for locating the factory is not
accidential. All necessary facilities needed for such an industry such
as good roads, railways and railsiding are available and this will ease
the problem of transporting both the starting materials and the products
The site itself is dominated by similar light industries and ensures the
availability of necessary services that the factory will require.
The principal starting materials are Ace Metal and Timber which are
abundant in the country. With commissioning of Ajaokuta Steel Factory
in 1983 and booster given by some states governments in the country
for wood plantations, the starting materials will be readily available.
Considering the rate of unemployment in the country, the potentials
of steel and timber production and the ovious need for a system of distribution
to the ever increasing demand, the important role which an industry
of this nature will play in providing employment and distribution system
for steel, Timber and their products in the country needs not be over
emphasised.
As the 198O is seen as an industrial development era in the country
and being a Nigerian, I am of the opinion that this project will expose
me to the problems of industrial design generally and that of furniture
industry in particular; thus, enabling me to contribute my quota to the
industrial development of the nation
