The Persian Gardens in Iran
Linggo, Nobyembre 13, 2011 @ 12:32 AM
Dotted with historic pavilions and walls, as well as sophisticated irrigation systems, the Persian Garden has inspired garden design as far away as India and Spain. Water was an important metaphor for looking into oneís soul. As the calm waters reflected oneís image, so too was the garden a place of spiritual reflection.Water was also a sign of wealth. Wealthy people would incorporate narrow courtyards to create zones of artificial shade from which relatively cooler air could be drawn into the structure. These courtyards sometimes would have fountains to provide humidity which would aid evaporative cooling. Fountains also provide background sound which can be a focus for meditation purposes. In 711 A.D. the Syrian Arabs invaded Spain. They continued to rule Granada when the northern provinces were lost to them. They maintained control of southern Spain until 1492. The nomads from the desert soon fell in love with the less harsh climate of Spain. The Arabs brought with them their respect for Persian gardens.The Spanish inherited many aspects of the Persian gardens including the concern for the conservation of water. They too enjoyed the cool environment surrounding a quite pool of water. The Spanish were able to create the same conjured songs of running water.  |
