-Definition of the project

Pharmaceutical factory is type of building that produce drugs and medicine supplies that
serve the country economy and local districts .

-Reasons of choosing the project

1-No existence of drugs factory to serve the local hospitals.
2-Increasing the number of hospitals and health center and labs.
3-Increasing the number of occupants that increases the needs of drugs

-Aims of the project

The project aim to reflect the industrial architecture which indicates the development of
society from the industrial point of view.
-Brief history on the project
he beginnings of pharmacy are ancient. When the first person expressed
juice from a succulent leaf to apply to a wound, this art was being practiced.
In the Greek legend, Asclepius, the god of the healing art, delegated to
Hygieia the duty of compounding his remedies. She was his apothecary or
pharmacist. The physician-priests of Egypt were divided into two classes:
those who visited the sick and those who remained in the temple and
prepared remedies for the patients.

In ancient Greece and Rome and during the Middle Ages in Europe, the art
of healing recognized a separation between the duties of the physician and
those of the herbalist, who supplied the physician with the raw materials
from which to make medicines. The Arabian influence in Europe during the
8th century AD, however, brought about the practice of separate duties for
the pharmacist and physician. The trend toward specialization was later
reinforced by a law enacted by the city council of Bruges in 1683, forbidding
physicians to prepare medications for their patients. In America, Benjamin
Franklin took a pivotal step in keeping the two professions separate when
he appointed an apothecary to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
The development of the pharmaceutical industry since World War II led to
the discovery and use of new and effective drug substances. It also
changed the role of the pharmacist. The scope
for extemporaneous compounding of medicines was much diminished and
with it the need for the manipulative skills that were previously applied by
the pharmacist to the preparation of bougies, cachets, pills, plasters, and
potions. The pharmacist continues, however, to fulfill the prescriber’s
intentions by providing advice and information; by formulating, storing, and
providing correct dosage forms; and by assuring the efficacy and quality of
the dispensed or supplied medicinal product.
-The Architectural style
Deconstruction:-

-What is deconstruction?
1-It is an architectural movement that began in the early 1980s.
2-It is influenced by the theory of "Deconstruction".
3-It is characterized by fragmentation, and interest in manipulating a structure's surface or
skin through transform the basic Volumes of architecture (Cube, Cuboid, Pyramid & sphere)
in order to recombine it in a new hybrid shapes.

-Goals
Deconstructivism attempts to move away from the supposedly constricting 'rules' of
modernism such as:
Historical background on deconstruction.
-Deconstructivism came to public notice with the 1982 Parc de la Villette architectural design
competition.

-(especially the entry from Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman and Bernard Tschumi's
winning entry).

-Philosophy
Deconstruction is a literary theory and philosophy of language derived principally from
Jacques Derrida's 1967 work Of Grammatology.
the clearest explanation on Derrida’s thinking, which I also found to be notoriously difficult.
it’s fundamental to Derrida’s extraordinary view of the world that nothing has much
meaning anyway.

-Design characteristics

1-No physically pure basic volume.

2-Fragmented Mass.
3-New Material (Metals, Glass, Concrete).
4-Complicated Structure, and thus advanced structural systems.
5-Relatively high Void percentage.

6-Open Plan.
7-Distinguishing from Context.
