Zusammenfassung:From Timur's tent in Samarqand to Shah Abbas' palace in Isfahan and Humayun's tomb in Delhi, the pavilion has been an intergral part of Persianate gardens since its earliest appearance at the Achaemenid garden in Pasargadae in the sixth century BC. Despite its significance, the pavilion has often been neglected in the study of gardens and the cultural contexts of its development. This is a gap that Mohammad Gharipour seeks to address, emphasizing pavilions as vibrant and dynamic parts of Persian gardens. The book reaches back through Persia's rich history to explore the material and psychological relationships between human beings, pavilions and gardens, the impact of gardens on political, cultural and social affairs
