A new book by Professor Dr. Safa Lotfi, titled "Superior Design: Between Precedence and Pioneering in Arab Art and Architecture: An Analytical and Aesthetic Approach," has been published by Dar Al-Manhajia for Publishing and Distribution in Jordan.

This book offers an in-depth reading of the concept of superior design as a creative force that transcends form to construct meaning, linking artistic precedence with civilizational leadership in Arab art and architecture. It begins with an aesthetic and mathematical analysis that explores visual and spatial transformations, revealing the Arab designer's ability to present an architectural and mathematical vision that resonates with the spirit of the times without compromising identity. The book presents a designer who was able to create a visual equivalent that transcended time, achieving a superior design model that affirmed his scientific presence more than a thousand years ago. Thus, the book demonstrates, through scientific analysis, that masterpieces in art and architecture paved the way for what is known today as superior design long ago. This designer was able to present an advanced design that surpassed the designers of civilizations contemporary with Arab civilization, resulting in artistic and architectural masterpieces. The book traces selected examples of Arab artistic and architectural experiences, analyzing the mechanisms of innovation, awareness of place, and symbolic dimension, to emphasize that superior design is not a formal luxury, but a cultural project that reflects memory and establishes an Arab visual future capable of being a starting point for everything global.
