Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In every act of knowing there is a threshold where the knower and the known change places. These seven stories are set on that threshold.We are born believing in a vantage point outside the world - a place from which the self can watch, weigh, and remain untouched. The Harmonions is written against that belief. There is no such place. To look closely at anything is to enter into a relationship with it, and every relationship runs both ways. The pattern you trace begins to trace you. The memory you examine begins to edit its examiner. The mind you study turns out to be the one doing the studying. The eye is inside the picture. That is not a flaw in perception; it is the condition of being a self at all.These seven stories - the last of them a four-movement novelette - are philosophical, often uncanny meditations on what follows from that condition, each one on the surface a psychological mystery: a melody that refuses to repeat itself (The Raven Doesn't Repeat Itself); a mathematician's final equation, delivered in letters that arrive on schedule from no one (Dr. Warda's Last Equation); a cafe whose window returns one reflection too few (The Ascent to the Edge of Perception); a sculptor haunted by a dream whose meaning is interpreted differently by those around him (As I Was Told); a colleague who exists only on Sundays (Sunday. When Thomas Comes); a manuscript and a ritual that refuse to reach their final page (The Page That Doesn't Turn); and a pattern in the financial markets that starts to look like free will (The Harmonions). If the watcher is always also the watched, then knowledge is never a possession but a mirror - and every certainty we hold about the world is, at the same time, a confession about ourselves. Identity becomes not a fixed point but a story still being told, whose earlier drafts have been lost. Choice becomes a question: does it survive being predicted? Death, memory, creation, and inheritance appear as different names for the same passage: the moment something moves from the one who held it into the one who comes next.The title is the book's answer to its own unease. A Harmonion is neither a musician nor a listener; it is what a person becomes at the point where the two can no longer be told apart - the one for whom dissonance has ceased to be a threat and become a language, a self that has learned to hear the order hidden within the noise. In the closing novelette, it is also a unit of measure: the smallest interval within which a sound and the world can agree.In music, dissonance is not disorder, but tension that has not yet found its resolution - order arriving before the ear is ready for it. So too here. The collection does not dissolve the strange by explaining it. It moves the reader, story by story, from resistance to attention, from the desire to control what is seen to the more difficult discipline of listening to it.Some tensions resolve. Others are deliberately left open, because a sustained note can be truer than a cadence forced shut - and the silence after the final sound is sometimes where the meaning has been waiting all along.Written in English by Egyptian author Saad da Alex (Dr. Ibrahim Saad) and rooted in the contemplative tradition of Arabic philosophical fiction, The Harmonions speaks to readers who suspect that the deepest questions are not those we ask, but those that have been quietly asking us. Seven philosophical mysteries, including a novella in four movements, explore memory, identity, choice and consciousness at the threshold where observer and observed exchange places, and dissonance reveals the hidden shape of harmony.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every square meter an architect loses to inefficient design becomes a permanent energy penalty the building will pay for the next 50 years.Across the Gulf, buildings are losing significant net-to-gross floor area between concept and completion - and the region's climate turns that lost efficiency into an outsized energy and cost burden. Architectural Space Efficiency is the first practitioner guide to quantify exactly how much this costs, why UAE and KSA high-rise construction amplifies the effect, and what to do about it at every design stage.Built on a rigorous research base spanning 34 international case buildings, expert interviews, and longitudinal tracking of real projects through five design stages, this book establishes the core evidence - a net-to-gross to energy intensity coefficient of -10.43 kWh/m /yr per percentage point, an R of 0.887, and a 46% GCC-specific amplification effect - and translates it into the ASEF-S Framework, a practical scoring and evaluation system architects, developers, and sustainability consultants can apply from concept sketch through authority submission.Inside, you'll find:The quantified relationship between net-to-gross ratio and annual building energy performance, in real cost and carbon termsWhy UAE and KSA high-rise buildings show a measurably larger efficiency penalty than global benchmarksA stage-by-stage breakdown of where space efficiency is typically lost - and how to stop itThe ASEF-S Design Evaluation Tool, in three ready-to-use formats for concept, schematic/developed design, and authority submission stagesRole-specific action checklists for architects, developers, and regulatorsWorked examples and typology-specific benchmarks for GCC high-rise practiceWritten for working professionals rather than academic audiences, this is a book meant to sit on a desk and be used - not shelved.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Every high-rise carries a hidden number few developers ever ask about: how much of its floor area actually does anything - and what the rest is quietly costing in energy, every single year, for the life of the building.Backed by a dataset of 34 buildings, 20 expert interviews, and eight projects tracked across five design stages, this book proves what practitioners have long suspected but never measured: spatial efficiency isn't a leasing metric with a side effect on sustainability - it's one of the most powerful, controllable levers on a building's lifetime energy performance. In hot arid, high-density markets specifically, each percentage point of Net-to-Gross ratio lost is associated with a 10.43 kWh/m /year increase in energy intensity - 46% steeper than the equivalent effect in temperate-climate buildings (R = 0.887).The book doesn't stop at the finding. It delivers the ASEF-S framework - a regionally calibrated, three-dimensional assessment tool with an Energy Consequence Calculator that lets architects and developers see the energy cost of a spatial decision at concept stage, before it's locked in for forty years.Written for architects defending design decisions in review, developers underwriting feasibility, sustainability consultants bridging regional and international certification systems, and researchers extending the methodology - this is the first book to put a number on what inefficient space actually costs, and a tool to close the gap while it's still cheap to change.…
