The Harmonic Garden - Symphonising Architecture with Nature

This thesis explores the relationship between the natural and built environment, highlighting the significance of beauty in our surroundings to connect with the sacred. Architecture should not only be driven by practicality, but also by the need to lift our spirits and inspire us in our daily lives.  Influenced by a Persian upbringing in music, poetry, and art, I developed a deep appreciation for the interplay between artistic expressions and the natural world. Through the exploration of Persian Gardens, known for their enchanting beauty and reverence for nature, a philosophical and architectural journey unfolded. Delving into the essence of Persian Gardens through extensive research, I uncovered the underlying elements that define their harmonious design language. Guided by this newfound understanding, the project aimed to apply the distinctive design approach to Sätradalsparken, a suburban park in Stockholm, Sweden. The goal was to transform the park into a sanctuary that nourishes the soul, integrating key elements of Persian Gardens and utilizing natural materials. The design creates a welcoming garden with a music school, inviting visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature and the arts. Through this exploration, the project illuminates the captivating relationship between nature, architecture, and the spiritual realm, offering insights into the transformative potential of Persian Gardens for contemporary landscapes.
