    1 Taste of Paradise, 27 April to 04 May 2019, Iran th 4 CLAT 2019: Taste Paradise Cultural Landscape Association Workshop & Tour 27 April to 04 May 2019, Iran Until now, 22 Iranian sites have been inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Iran’s Persian Garden is one of the sites inscribed on UNESCO’s List in 2011. The property includes nine gardens in as many provinces. They exemplify the diversity of Persian garden designs that evolved and adapted to different climate conditions while retaining principles that have their roots in the times of Cyrus the Great, 6th century BC. Always divided into four sectors, with water playing an important role for both irrigation and ornamentation, the Persian garden was conceived to symbolize Eden and the four Zoroastrian elements of sky, earth, water and plants. These gardens, dating back to different periods since the 6th century BC, also feature buildings, pavilions and walls, as well as sophisticated irrigation systems. They have influenced the art of garden design as far as India and Spain. Persian Garden is a well-known garden style in the world. Besides overcoming the environmental restraints, creators of Persian Gardens have also manifested cultures and beliefs of people living in this land in their work; and that’s the reason orientalists have known Persian Garden a symbol of “Promised Paradise”. Persian Garden is in a great harmony with its natural and cultural surroundings and cannot be identified segregated from Iran’s characteristics and peoples’ culture and belief. Cultural Landscape Association (CLA) is planning to organize a specialized tour and workshop called “Taste Paradise” in an international level for the experts, in order to get a better global recognition for Persian Garden and the elite to know it further.

    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res. , 6(10)23-30, 2016 ISSN 2090-4304 © 2016, TextRoad Publication Journal of Basic and Applied Scientific Research www.textroad.com Sustainable and Functional Architecture in Rural Areas: Case studies of Abyaneh and Masouleh in Iran Saeideh Farnian Department of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey Received: July 12, 2016 Accepted: August 31, 2016 ABSTRACT Environmental and natural restrictions affect economic growth and show themselves as either shortages in the sources of natural resources or lack of sufficient and appropriate facilities to absorb wastes and industrial pollution. Therefore, shortages of raw materials and increasing damages to natural environment has made many scientific fields to think of the ways decreasing such a risk. Accordingly, sustainability concepts and sustainable development has come to agenda in diverse fields as well as architecture in recent decades. Although sustainability seems to be a new concern in diverse fields as well as architecture, by analyzing some of historical constructions constructed by our predecessors many centuries ago, we can see that such a concept has a long history and a rich background in vernacular and traditional architecture. Studying the valuable achievements of predecessors, which are the result of accumulated experience based on elaborately knowing their nature, can be guiding in deciding for appropriate usage of technology in a sustainable way. In this research, values of sustainable design is handled regarding Iranian traditional and vernacular architecture focusing on two popular rural areas with a rich historical and architectural background called Abyaneh village located in central part of Iran with a hot and arid climate and Masouleh located in northern part of Iran.

For that reason, the analysis of sustainable parameters in traditional landscape of Iran such as, Persian gardens is very important to the present and future of Iranian cities. This paper is a comparative study on the sustainable parameters of two Persian gardens located on the arid central plateau of Iran. The recognition and reinterpretation of Persian garden design can be an appropriate solution for landscape architects to create sustainable green spaces in modern cities. The main objective of this research is to find the parameters and principles of sustainability in Persian garden as sustainable landscape heritage. The selected case studies of this paper are two historical gardens, located in two different microclimatic areas in arid regions of Iran. By analyzing the sustainable and climatic features of the selected case studies, Shazde Garden in Mahan and Eram Garden in Shiraz, this paper identifies ways to create green space for sustainable landscaping in similar climates.
