Persian Gardens

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.
