Conceived and written by Todd Reisz, the pre-eminent writer of the UAE's urban transformations, and a long time Art Jameel interlocutor, this book is a collaboration between Jameel Arts Centre and Khatt Books, designed by Huda Smitshuijzen AbiFarès. Todd has arranged nearly one hundred images into a meditative wandering across Dubai, through time, as the city stretched beyond the Dubai Creek.

Off Centre/ On Stage offers an intriguing account of Dubai on the cusp of monumental change, an insignificant patch of empty sand, driven by human invention to become the exceptional nexus of architecture we know today.
