Model Making at Ab Rogers (Emperor Moth)

During University I had the pleasure of working at Ab Rogers (http://www.abrogers.com/). These photos are of a design for a Moscow boutique Emperor Moth, the interior is a crazy shatter of reflecting mirrors that makes you feel as if you are floating within a crystal. The pink outlines are representative of both Emperor Moth's and Ab's flamboyant style.

On this project I helped make the construction model. It was the most exciting and difficult model I have ever experienced. The model was mainly for the constructors, and worked as a blue print or reference so that constructing the abstract space went smoothly.

The model was first drawn in a free 3D program, then it was printed to scale, splayed out on a piece of paper with a code on each component, meanwhile each component was laser cut, sprayed and joined using the printout as a reference. The model sits in a supporting frame which easily shows the numbers of each panel on the back and assisted the constructors.
