A fellow named Bezalel seems to be the one that spearheaded the project ....from God's plans, design.

God commanded Moshe (Moses) to build the ark and gave him the instructions. The Ark was built by a man named Bezalel around the 13th century BCE. It was built to house the marble tablets God gave to Moses. It was made out of acacia wood and covered and gold and had to cherubim the top of the kapporet (covering). The cherubs faced one another with outstretched wings that touched.
Bezalel started building the Ark when the group was still camped at Har Sinai, which is in the Negev valley.
The why is debated but it is believed that God saw the people needed something instead of the goden calf and the Ark that contained his words was a manifestation of God. The ark fulfilled the need for physical worship. It was also carried into battle first and was a rallying point for the Jewish people.
No one knows where it is today but some have said India, Israel, Iraq, Armenia, Nepal etc. My bet is on Ethiopia. Some say it is still buried at the Dome of the Rock. It was looted from the first temple when it fell to the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzer. It is also thought that Josiah a temple priest buried it in the floor and it is still there today.

Actually God is the one that told Moses to Build the Ark to store the second set of the 10 Commandments inside. The first set was Broken by Moses when he saw the people sinning, worshiping the false god they made because Moses took so long to come down from the mountain.

The Ark of the Covenant is not the same as the Ark that was a boat. So, no, to that one. And Noah didn't have the Ten Commandments that was Moses.

Those connected to the covenant through Isaac have been cursed due to rebellion and slaying of the Prophets.
