O14 – Building Skin is its Structure by Reiser & Umemoto
A new tower rises at the heart of Business Bay. O14, a shining icon of cosmopolitan life where commerce and culture converge in an unprecedented new architecture. Rising above an exclusive site on the shore of Dubai Creek O14 is a tower formed around a new philosophy and space. The tower’s concrete shell not only is the structure of the building but also creates a lace-like faade open to light, air, and views. 21 stories of custom-designed office floors are carried without the barriers of conventional columns and walls. At ground level, exclusive shops link this site to Business Bay’s waterfront esplanade combining high-end shopping eminent culture and popular entertainment. Below grade, four levels of parking provide capacity for over 400 cars.

yea….so if you throw yourself down the building..basically you’ll die from laceration and amputation of limbs between the holes before you touch-down the asphalt?
