Abstract:   (120 Views)

The works of Suhrawardi contain significant insights that have been explored in many studies, particularly regarding metaphors of light and music. However, the existence of ancient water patterns in Suhrawardi’s philosophy and their impact on Iranian architectural thought has been overlooked. This study investigates the role of water as an element in Suhrawardi’s philosophy, emphasizing its intellectual and enlightening properties.

The research adopts a descriptive-analytical method, utilizing comparative case studies and focusing on both textual and field studies. The aim is to explore the role of water as a timeless and dynamic phenomenon, fully embedded in the reality of Iranian gardens and water architecture. This study examines the integration of water elements with plants and the spatial configuration of Iranian gardens. Furthermore, three contemporary park samples—Shazdeh Garden in Kerman, Eram Garden in Shiraz, and a park in Tehran (Jamshidieh, Goftogoo, and Velayat)—are analyzed to understand the compatibility of Suhrawardi’s ancient water patterns with the design of these spaces.

The findings indicate that contemporary parks in Iran lack sufficient attention to the aesthetic, symbolic, and functional roles of water. Thus, this study highlights the necessity of incorporating ancient water patterns to enrich the design of contemporary Iranian parks, focusing on cultural, ecological, and philosophical aspects.
