Water architecture in Persia consists of various types of buildings and edifices. In addition to the urban or public facilities, water played an important role in the private life and individual spaces in Persia. Iranian courtyard houses, as well as gardens’ pavilions and palaces during the Islamic period, displayed a combination of functional and recreational aspects of water architecture. The integration between water, architecture and garden was the common aspect of water architecture in traditional houses, madrasas and palaces and pavilions in Persia. This aspect can be called water art in architecture. Most of the edifices which represented this aspect of water architecture in Iran belonged to the Safavid and Qajar eras. This lecture tries to highlight these particular features of water architecture in Persia. To reach this objective, we focus on three main types of Iranian architecture: traditional houses, religious madrasas, and pavilions/palaces, where water played a spectacular role in providing comfortable and livable spaces for the occupants.
