Projects and Their Consequences presents fifteen key projects from leading architectural thinkers Reiser + Umemoto. Projects and Their Consequences traces thirty years of innovative, multidisciplinary investigations of form, structure, technique, and planning. Projects include large-scale studies of infrastructure for the East River Corridor and Hudson Yards areas in Manhattan and the Alishan Railway in Taiwan, as well as schemes for cultural institutions including the New Museum, Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and University of Applied Arts Vienna. Also included are thought-provoking "textual projects": narrative works that blur the boundaries of art and architecture. Projects and Their Consequences balances incisive interviews and essays with more than 400 strikingly original drawings, collages, and paintings. Large-format and beautifully designed, it is a necessary volume for architects and those interested in the intersection of architecture, art, and culture.

O-14: Projection and Reception explores the groundbreaking exo-skeleton office tower in Dubai by New York-based architects, Reiser+Umemoto. This monograph will not only provide exhaustive documentation of O-14’s design and construction but delves further into the complex interrelationships this architectural model weaves between technology, expression and politics in the context of the ‘nowhere place’ of the global city. The book is both an account of a design’s realisation and a manifesto, and contains Jesse Reiser’s explanatory and theoretical texts on the tower as well as a number of critical essays.

Architects Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto have been generating some of the most provocative thinking in the field for nearly twenty years. With Atlas of Novel Tectonics, Reiser+Umemoto hone in on the many facets of architecture and illuminate their theories with great thought and simplicity. The Atlas is organized as an accumulation of short chapters that address the workings of matter and force, material science, the lessons of art and architectural history, and the influence of architecture on culture (and vice versa). Reiser+Umemoto see architectural design as a series of problem situations, and each chapter is an argument devoted to a specific condition or case.

Influenced by a wide range of fields and phenomena, the authors provide a cross-section of thinking and inspiration. The result is both an elucidation of the concepts that guide Reiser+Umemoto through their own design process and a series of meditations on topics that have formed their own sense as architects. Atlas of Novel Tectonics offers an entirely fresh perspective on subjects that are generally taken for granted, and does so with a welcome punch and energy.

The work of New York based architects Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto is increasingly attracting international praise. In the words of Daniel Libeskind, their work is 'inspiring ... characterized by an inventive constellation of amazing objects which raise questions about the chaotic disorder of institutionalized arrangements'. Reiser + Umemoto: Recent Projects focuses on recent works of Reiser + Umemoto which convey the freeing of geometry brought about by the extensive use of the computer within architectural design. The authors are significant exponents of this genre of innovative work, and in this book provide invaluable insight into recent developments in architectural theory and design.

Tokyo Bay Experiment is a collection of articles and projects centered around the reimagination of Tokyo Bay, offering an initial reexamination of the Japanese Metabolist movement of the 1950s and 60s as led by Kenzo Tange, Kisho Kurokawa, and Arata Isozaki. The precipitate of a graduate design studio endowed by the Japan Institute and held at Columbia in the mid-90s, the book brings together the ideas of leading architectural thinkers, mathematicians, and philosophers alongside images and student work.
