The Middle East is well-known for its historic gardens that have been shaped and developed in two millenniums since the pre-Islamic era. The role of urban landscape projects in Middle Eastern cities has grown in prominence, with a gradual shift in emphasis from gardens for the private sphere to an increasingly public function. These contemporary landscape projects, either designed as public plazas or public parks, have played a significant role in transferring the modern Middle Eastern cities to a new era and also to transform to a newly shaped social culture in which public has a voice. Gharipour considers what ties these projects to their historical context, and what regional and local elements and concepts have been used in their design.

Recenzijas

This collection of a dozen essays covers a variety of subjects (Cairo parks, Tehran parks, xeriscapes, and stonework among them). An interesting notion appears in chapter 2, in which James Wescoat Jr., ASLA, makes the case that even the concept of "landscape" in the Middle East is fairly recent. It refers to neither just gardens nor geography there, he says, but a combination of both.
