Persian Gardens and Landscapes
The verdant gardens of ancient Persia are a testament to this highly developed culture's resourcefulness and ability to not only source and direct water and irrigate the land in a hostile environment, but then to transform it into a manmade paradise. Here, Nasrine Faghih and Amin Sadeghy provide a historic outline of Persian garden typologies and their evolution over time, providing a focus on the central kiosk within the enclosed garden, highlighting the synergy between climate, resources and place.
