SynopsisIsfahan is a heavenly city of gardens, mosques and palaces for an open-minded architect. In addition to the artful dome constructions over the prayer halls of the larger mosques, the highpoint of Persian architecture is the multitude of garden complexes, staged as a mirror image of the cosmos or Paradise. With their aromatic shrubberies and trees the galleries of pillars are typical for these geometrically laid out Islamic gardens in which nature becomes a work of art. All good architecture seeks to create a world, and every genuine building is a unique specimen filled with atmosphere. Now is the time to see with new eyes, with an artistic view. From this standpoint, with its fascinating two hundred year building history, the architectural currents of Isfahan continue to have a lucid effect today., An artistic view on the architectural currents of Isfahan's garden complexes as the highpoint of Persian architecture., An ancient Persian proverb says, ''Isfahan is half the world,'' referring to the city's influence at the crossroads of 16th century trade routes. This magnificent city in present-day Iran is still known for its paradisiacal garden landscapes and fascinating buildings, including Naghsh-e Jahan Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Eminent Swiss architectural photographer Werner Blaser has captured the beauty of Isfahan in photos that present the masterworks of Persian architecture and horticulture from the 16th to 18th centuries, Isfahan's heyday under the Persian Safavid dynasty. He paints a picture of boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques and minarets. With a foreword by Babak Dehchamani
