An objet trouvé sketch model of Richard Rogers's Lloyd's Building assembled entirely from found industrial hardware and off-cut materials — drill bits, aluminum extrusions, corrugated plastic tubing, foil-clad blocks, ribbed acrylic, and small blue wire-form trusses — arranged to evoke the building's signature composition of vertical service towers flanking a central atrium. The model carries no fixed scale and operates as a conceptual sketch, mapping the tectonic logic and material palette of high-tech architecture onto analogous industrial artifacts. It foregrounds the building's externalized servicing strategy and structural expression rather than dimensional accuracy or surface detail.
