Bagh-e Khour

Dehkhoda university Qazvin

Idea projektu

The notion of a Persian garden is like a carpet in the frame of a paradise, and mankind is the center of attention, riding on a royal throne like a king who rules over it.
His place is no house, no villa, but rather a mansion in the garden of paradise overlooking all eight directions, through which his presence can be definitely recognized in the center. And two other directions remain the earth and the sky:
What goes within the heart of the earth, they know, for their feet and bodies can feel its flow.
And what is above, they see in a blue-mirror-like surface of the water reflecting the sky into a pon. So, nothing else outside the garden of paradise is left to seek.

Popis projektu

In the land of Khour, where the sun shines bright,
There lies a garden, a paradise of delight nestled in the mountains,
to explore, its stories to be told.

For ages, the land of the sun, or “Khour”, has been where inhabitants strive to withstand the scorching sun, reflecting their deep environmental awareness.
From another view, the qualitative experience of light that shines upon the Iranian plateau is the foundation of spatial understanding that has always rested in the collective unconscious.
The architecture of this area serves to deflect the excessive heat, on the other hand, light is welcomed to spark imagination in our experienced world!
