Abstract:   (6961 Views)

Yazd, since it has fewer ups and downs and social ups and downs, architecture in a calm bed has continued in a quiet context. Security concerns and relative calm during the Middle Ages and the digging of numerous aqueducts have paved the way for the emergence of gardens in Yazd city. Therefore, due to the extensive use of gardens in the historical texts of Yazd and the lack of research on the medieval gardens of Yazd, this article addresses this issue. This article aims to study the characteristics of the mentioned gardens in the historical text and the components of these gardens. The research method of this article is based on historical documents and library studies. The method of this analytical-historical research and its main source is historical sources such as the book "Tarikh-e yazd" and " Tarikh-e Jadid-e Yazd" and "Jame e Mofidi". This article describes historic gardens from aspects of architecture, decorations, function, developments, creators, and factors of origin. The historical scope of this research is from the birth of Yazd to the tenth century AH. It includes the gardens of the first centuries AH, the period of Al-Kakuieh, Atabakan, Al-Muzaffar, Timurids, and Safavids. This study shows that Yazd gardens have local and indigenous characteristics that are common in this area. According to historical sources, it is undeniable that the architectural methods and local decoration have entered the garden building. Also, the evolution of gardens throughout history and various activities in Yazd gardens show that some gardens are multi-functional. Finally, as the founders of the gardens, local rulers and nobles have played a major role in digging canals and ultimately forming historic gardens.
