Architect and engineer Joab Tzur develops an innovative building system that is quicker and faster than traditional processes. Beginning to market his work, the aesthetic of his Foldapod system is criticised and Jab appeals to the Establishment to allow his work to develop, to allow it to stand or fall on its own recognisances. Jab presents his work to DAIR Aeronautics who seek a new assenbly facility and meets beautiful Dawn Tremiont, a vice-president who is impressed by his work and his person. Architecture and engineering while symbiotic, are often 'opposing' disciplines, and she is astounded by his achievements and his mental capacity. DAIR invites Jab's former professor of architecture to the presentation and words are exchange. When a ruthless building contractor loses desperately needed contracts to Jab, he tries sabotage to prove that Foldapod is not safe. The novel takes the reader onto building sites into consultants' offices and the courtroom and ends with the main characters defing their understanding of success, achievement and truth and describes the author's own attitude to professional morality and truth as his 5th dimension after space-time.
