The process is called vacuum forming. So, I will build it out of metal first. A fiberglass mold will be made off of the metal panels, Then a vacuum box is made to hold the mold. Then the glass is sucked down into the mold using vacuum and hot air to make it maluable. Here is another piece I had made in the same way.
