NEST 2.0 – Design for assembly and disassembly
Objectives:
- Create an efficient and hierarchical construction process
- Create hierarchy in structural performance of members
- Eliminate the oculus as the primary member countering lateral deformation.
- Reduce the number of steps involved in construction
NEST 1.0 NEST 2.0
Design Development
Intermediate ring to replace oculus as only structural member
Conclusion : 4 ribs normal to the ground to counter most of vertical load and by creating a lateral cross bracing lattice to counter most of lateral load, a hierarchy in construction and structural performance can be achieved. In addition, number of steps required for assembly is reduced.
