Gardens
Paradise made real, here on earth.A garden is a slice of peace away from the madness of reality. The Persians took this notion to its zenith; it was the Achaemenid Empire that fostered the notion of a paradise on earth, though Persians were creating extravagant gardens at least a thousand years before that dynasty came to power. The Sassanids, however, were the first to apply religious ideals to their gardens, using water as a central point to represent the image of a Zoroastrian paradise - a lush garden with a river flowing through it. Persian gardens also harnessed the contrast of light and shade through the harmonious combination of architecture and botany. Within them, shaded bowers and pavilions created a welcome break from the unforgiving heat. The style and great beauty of these serene spaces was influential to designers from other cultures, with many of their features copied and further developed with local materials and techniques.
