In the Garden of Isfahan

For an open-minded architect, Isfahan is a paradisiacal city of gardens, mosques, and palaces. The pinnacle of Persian architecture, in addition to the elaborate domed structures above the prayer halls of large mosques, is the numerous gardens, designed as a reflection of the cosmos or paradise. Columned galleries with fragrant shrubs and trees are characteristic of Islamic-geometric gardens – here, nature becomes a work of art.
Every good piece of architecture seeks to create a world, and every genuine building is a unique work, charged with atmosphere. It's time to see things with different eyes, with an artistic eye. Architectural movements from Isfahan, with its fascinating two-hundred-year history of construction, in particular, continue to have a lucid effect in this regard.
