11. ELEMENTS OF THE
PERSIAN GARDEN
 Sunlight :- an important factor of structural design in Persian gardens. Textures and shapes were specifically
chosen by architects to harness the light.
 SHADE:- Iran's dry heat makes shade important in gardens, which would be nearly unusable without it. Tree
and trellises largely feature as biotic shade pavilions and walls are also structurally prominent in blocking the
sun.
 WATER:-The heat also makes water important, both in the design and maintenance of the garden. Irrigation
may be required, and may be provided via a form of tunnel called a qanat, that transports water from a
local aquifer. Well-like structures then connect to the qanat, enabling the drawing of water.

12.  Trees:-THEY were often planted in a ditch called a juy, which prevented
water evaporation and allowed the water quick access to the tree roots.
 The Persian style often attempts to integrate indoors with outdoors
through the connection of a surrounding garden with an
inner courtyard.
 Designers often place architectural elements such as vaulted
arches between the outer and interior areas to open up the divide between
them.
