OHK showcased a 3D physical model of an area in Jordan that is one of the largest investment schemes ever created in the Middle East. The area is north of the capital Amman and is the size of London, with the resulting model weighing over half a ton and spanning 3.6m x 3.6m. It represents the master plan that our team completed for the Hashemite Royal Court under a 6-month contract, where we were responsible for developing a detailed spatial, economic and institutional plan to launch a new tourism and FDI destination on the world map.
The model, handcrafted under our team’s supervision in London by 20 craftsmen working for five weeks around-the-clock, using great precision and state of the art laser cutting, more than 10,000 pieces were crafted and assembled with custom-made materials and finishing. The model has a horizontal scale of 1:10000 and a vertical scale of 2:1 with an elevation change of -200m above MSL to 1220m. It took 1,800 man-hours to complete the model and, among other details, it shows the topography of the region, proposed land use, and 18 new tourism projects that are estimated to bring more than JD 6 billion in FDI over 20 years.
