This project is about a Persian cultural centre with Persian gardens. The supervisor of my thesis is professor Jeffrey Huang. The site is located in RAK city (Ras-Al-Khaymah) in United Arabs Emirates. It is located by the sea in a residential district with a warm and humid climate. Its area is about 7000 m2. The site will be a centre for cultural activities and leisures for the inhabitants of that district. The architecture is aimed to create tranquility. Persian vernacular architecture is analyzed and used as the inspirational source to form tranquility in the whole project. Interior courtyard, screen, wind tower and persian garden are used as elements to create tranquility. Courtyards are calm and refreshing areas of the house. Screens have colorful designs and create nice patterns of light and shadow. Wind towers bring fresh air inside the buildings and operate as zero consumption air system. Garden brings happiness and tranquility by beautiful flowers, water stream and shadow of trees. The location of the site at the seaside is another important to reach to tranquility.
