Whats a moment frame?
This is a technical term for the rigid steel skeleton of a building. Just like a high-rise tower, the NEST is engineered to be supported by its moment frame. The frame prevents twisting and bending and provides overall strength, with a minimum materials in the simplist configuration. The strong and light frame maximizes flexibility and makes it easier to change cofigurations for different user needs. The moment frame also allows wall and roof panels to be bolted into place — and unbolted when the NEST is deconstructed and/or reconfigured over the years.
