An Analysis of Water Features in Persian gardens; Bagh-e Shahzadeh

Persian gardens, integral to Iran's landscape, rely heavily on water features that evoke life, brightness, and mental comfort. A study of Bagh-e Shahzadeh, a historic Qajar-era palace garden in Kerman, Iran, reveals the significance of these features—pools, fountains, Qanats (underground channels), and waterfalls—in both aesthetic and functional roles. The research analyzes the design and structural characteristics of surviving water features, offering insights for their preservation. By examining how water enhances sensory experiences and technical functions, the study underscores its indispensable role in Persian garden architecture.
