A journey Through Irainan Architecture

Meet Mehrdad. A must follow account on instagram called @m1rasoulifard. A photographer, who is taking viewers on a visual journey through the history of Iranian architecture and design. He captures the structural and artistic intricacies of Iran’s most significant places of worship and cultural complexes, from the Jāmeh Mosque — one of the oldest still standing in the country — to the Chaharbagh School, both in the city of Isfahan. As home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, Iran is recognized for its ancient architectural wonders, whose often modest facades hide complex mosaic motifs and richly detailed ornamentation within. Throughout the photographic series, the photographer highlights the vibrant patterns extending along the diameters of domed ceilings, and the intricate network of symbols spanning across surrounding walls.
