Khosroshahi Garden

Located in Jamaran district of Tehran, Khosro-Shahi Garden is next to the residence of Imam Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. The Islamic Revolution had various political, social and cultural aspects affecting people’s attitudes and lifestyles. Revolution in its general meaning is “a movement to put an old order down and to create a new one based on the public participation”. A nation, on the other hand, is a group of people with a network of internal connections in three categories: national, social, and ideological. The convergence of this three is the essence of the great social evolutions forming a revolution. Social improvements require new ideologies and principles and this happens when conflicts of ideas and discourses exist. The aim of this project was to provide a platform where people could gather and establish productive dialogs. Therefore, the garden is called the “National Reasoning Centre”. Anyone could be the initiator of an idea and this centre values the role of each citizen in improving the cultural identity of a nation.
