(The show was set and the pilot shot in the city a year before the hurricane.) Like his town, Nick has to restore order from the rubble, and it's not a glamorous job.

...complex geometry that defies traditional housing-construction methods. Its design was made possible through computer modeling. The pair sliced up the house onscreen to shape each structural piece for its role, then extracted those pieces from the model and numbered them. With another program, the pieces are arranged on plywood sheets to maximize use of the wood. "We save a lot of waste that way," says Gauthier. And a lot of time. The boards can be cut locally and shipped to the site on two flatbed trucks. No railcars needed...
