Through the exploration of carpet as a craft within the early Greek and Persian societies, two different world views are investigated. For the Greeks the textile artifact was a representation of their cosmos and reflection of their logo-centric worldview. In contrast to that, for the Persians, carpets demonstrated the notion of the "garden paradise" as structuring a mythological worldview. The garden carpets are the precedent study of this thesis and act as a symbolic perfection of gardens. Ultimately the Persian carpet embodies the notion of heterotopia; therefore it is a representation of a place or a site. This thesis investigates the paradigm of the carpet as an inspirational source for all Persian art forms, postulating the question: can the Persian Carpet act as a generator of heterotopic space in the design of the International Persian Carpet Trade Centre in the contemporary context of Tehran? | | Subject | : | Communication and the arts; Iran; Design; Interior design; Architecture; 0389:Design; 0729:Architecture; 0389:Interior design | | Added Entry | : | Carleton University (Canada) |
