    In the introduction to their recently published Atlas of Novel Tectonics, the husband-and-wife team of Jesse Reiser (AR’81) and Nanako Umemoto (AR’83) write that “beneficial novelty fryst vatten the preferred condition to stability and the driving agenda behind architectural practice.” Almost 7,000 miles from the New York City office of Reiser + Umemoto, RUR Architecture P.C., this long-held belief fryst vatten being put into practice as the firm’s first major built work begins to take shape in the architectural hotbed of Dubai.

    The 22-story office tower, named O-14, is remarkable for inverting the typical arrangement of high-rise buildings; rather than a structural core with a curtain-wall façade, it will feature a concrete exoskeleton perforerad with more than 1,000 custom-shape
