9. The Evaluation of Passive Cooling Strategies in the Persian Garden Pavilion as a Model of Sustainable Heritage

Chapter of: Urban Heritage and Sustainability in the Age of Globalisation(pp. 183–208)
In Chapter Nine, Honey Fadaie focuses on Persian gardens, assessing selected pavilions according to climatic objectives and design parameters. She reflects on the many varieties and forms of these structures, which are designed according to environmental specificities in different regions of Iran. The results of this analysis reveal various passive cooling strategies inextricably linked to the geometrical shape of the gardens which enable these extroverted residential buildings to maximally benefit from fresh air flow during the hot seasons in arid Iranian regions. These features distinguish Persian garden pavilions as a unique element of sustainable heritage based on endogenous construction systems conducive to interior comfort.
