Persian garden is mostly indicative of psychological needs and less measurable with water requirements. Since ancient times, it was an essential part of Iranian life and its architecture and contributed in the presence of large temples and their symbolic strength. Since Sumerians, gardens surrounded the temple and the royal palace. Life in Iran is dependent on water and the water is in fact the main factor of life. Iranians have drawn a tree with running water which is the most favorable views in a dry land. After water, trees play the most important role in the formation of Persian Garden. Ancient Iranians believed in a sacred angel called Aororoza that hurting the plants would made her upset and angry. Much earlier than other nations, Iranian found that creating gardens is the basis for agriculture and achieved the best practices of building gardens since ancient times. 5 In the Islamic era, huge gardens surrounded the palace, and were considered as part of its architecture, so that the garden covered all main aspects of the building symmetrically. The area was divided into rectangular pieces that small streams passed through them. The gardens were built according to the Iranian predecessors and from the first centuries AD, Iranian-style garden goes beyond borders and widens its scope over time. The garden building method in the eastern countries were inspired by Iranian garden building, in Islam, planting trees was good and unnecessary cut them was considered reprehensible and there are many verses and narrations in this case. In Persian garden, special attention is paid to geometric shapes and square which shows the distance between the components simple and clear, was of great importance. At the time of planting a tree, the first step is precise in determining the distance from each side and thus forming squares that looking from each side, rows of trees could be seen. Therefore, the general pattern of most Persian gardens consisted of a rectangular space which is quartered by intersecting streams and pathways. 6 In the gardens, or in other words, discipline is the elements of natural, manmade and put together and how the use of natural elements, and select characteristics of their discipline, how to take advantage of them, and their relation with everyday life of people, play a central role. Some elements of Persian Gardens have been used include: ground, water, plant and space, once the intellectual system of Persian architecture and a framework concept and idea of the garden are together form garden. In this way, other elements may be used in the creation of the gardens, which are minor elements or component parts, and the effects of the main elements of garden. 7 Garden Structure 8 4th CLAT 2019: Taste Paradise In a general classification, considering the somatic features, the following gardens can be mentioned: • Garden located on flat levels: Fin Garden, Kashan and Eram Garden, Shiraz • Garden located on steep levels: Bagh Takht, Shiraz • Aquatic Garden: Ael Goly, Tabriz • House Garden: Historic Houses in Kashan and Yazd 9 4th CLAT: Taste Paradise- Itinerary 10 4th CLAT 2019: Taste Paradise 4th CLAT: Taste Paradise- Opening Meeting 11 4th CLAT 2019: Taste Paradise Places to Visit 1.
