The full ceiling was assembled
upside down, using a template
to control the shape.
Fabrication
Using a fully developed
fabrication model, all of
the parts and pieces were
generated and coordinated
by Imperial’s staff and were
then sent as digital files, with
paper drawings, to the shop
floor for fabrication.

Preceding all of the fabrication were thousands of
hours of modeling, drafting,
engineering, shop drawing
production, part and piece
listings, CNC pattern development, materials orders, deliveries made and fasteners procured. Discreet programs for
each rib were created directly
from the model. Interlocking
joints were created to help
hold the structure rigid.
There are over 3,200
planks on the surface of the
ceiling. Each was precut with
the CNC to a discreet size and
shape, marked and organized
so that the attachment of the
planks could progress logically, and each section fitted
as a group, then disassembled, and sent to the finishing
department. A spacer was
used at each joint between
planks to assure their alignment.
