About this ebook

Persian Gardens explores the rich history and profound influence of these meticulously designed landscapes, revealing them as earthly representations of paradise. Persian Gardens, originating in ancient Persia, are more than just beautiful spaces; they are cultural statements reflecting power, faith, and identity.

Intriguingly, these gardens often incorporate the charbagh layout, a four-part design symbolizing the Zoroastrian elements of water, earth, fire, and air, demonstrating a deep connection to ancient beliefs.

The book progresses from the core design principles to specific examples across historical periods, examining their evolution and adaptation. It then delves into the symbolism and cultural significance of these gardens, drawing from textual and archaeological evidence.

Ultimately, Persian Gardens traces their impact on global garden design, particularly in Islamic and European traditions. By combining architectural analysis with cultural history, the book offers a unique perspective on these historical landscapes.
