The Chenar surrounding the square area creates a ‘well of cool air’ that circulates inside the garden. The air circulation above the water body (channels) surrounded by the rows of trees traps the air inside the garden and it creates natural air-conditioning, which is a well thought landscape design. Thus, the outside dry hot air gets inside and remains cooler because of the flowing water channels.
The paradise garden takes some of its character from its original arid or semi-arid homeland. The most basic feature is the enclosure of the cultivated area.
- This excludes the wildness of nature, and
- Includes the tended, watered greenery of the garden
- The commonest and easiest layout for the perimeter walls is that of a rectangle, and this forms one of the prime features of this kind of garden.
Therefore, the Persian Garden Architecture and Landscaping reveals the philosophy of Sustainable Design that harmonizes with the nature.
Conclusion
Modern Industrial Design has drawn wide range of experiences from the traditional design concepts. The traditional design concepts are drawn from the ancient practices that have always harmonized with the nature using indigenous resource material. The keen observation and understanding of nature has resulted in creating harmonizing relationship between man and nature has developed a sense of unity (ethical) that has remained perhaps the greatest source of inspirations. Until the arrival of modern design philosophy the traditional concepts have shown their close relationship with the nature in term of seasonal changes, water-body, flora and fauna and other natural paradigms. The harmonious relationship with nature remained the core of man’s aspirations and creative pursuits. Therefore, addressing an understanding of Sustainable Design concepts would lead to much healthier design solutions. |
