I only see three nodes in the Walters group lot, plus the one on-site makes four. I assume, like others have mentioned, that the nodes attach to the angled columns at the temporary supports. From there, horizontal beams would run between the nodes and the supercolumns, creating a hashtag pattern ( # ).

They are in groups of two, stacked against each other. Only 4 may be needed for the first floor but similar structures are needed for floor 2.
