Hearst Tower Connections

(OP)
Does anyone have any good information nodal connections for Diagrid structures? In particular I am curious about the connection design of the Hearst Tower NYC. Were the nodal connections designed as rigid or pinned?

RE: Hearst Tower Connections

(OP)
Thanks for the link. Very interesting. I'd be interested to know why they designed the node connecting the main diagrid members as a moment connection. Surely a pinned connection (e.g 30 St. Mary Axe) would have been much simpler to construct
