Reflecting pool
A reflecting pool or reflection pool is a water feature found in gardens, parks, and at memorial sites. It usually consists of a shallow pool of water, undisturbed by fountain jets, for a reflective surface.
Design
Reflecting pools are often designed with the outer basin floor at the rim slightly deeper than the central area to suppress wave formation. They can be as small as a bird bath to as large as a major civic element. Their origins are from ancient Persian gardens.
Structure
These pools are made in a variety of sizes and geometric structures. But the most important feature in pools is their great reflection. What if certain size smaller pool reflection regular geometric shape at the same time and come together to pool reflection becomes. The reflection pool , in particular, is used in the interior space of the structures due to limitations, whose masterpiece can be seen in the summer mansion of Dolatabad Garden of Yazd. The reflection pool can be very blurry because it can be very large and wide. To overcome this turbulence in pools, the median reflection of the pool is slightly shorter than the sides of the pool. This feature breaks the wave.
Iranian Architecture
The water itself is one of the four Gothic Builders in Bethlehem. Since the Achaemenians have all been sacred, the Persians tried to keep their elements intact and to reveal them. Symbolism has been one of the ways to reveal the link to the Bishops. A link that has always been with love and respect and respect. An efficient platform for architectural links to the Bundestag has been one of the most useful platforms. In fact, architecture has provided the most desirable field for addressing these symbols. From the workshopGeneral to structural make-ups, the implementation of artistic delicacies in the form of bricklaying, tile, plaster, mirror, and in general any structure in the structure and, in the end, the structure of the structure with the religious rituals that was based on the conscience of the Achaemenians. Water is considered to be a very important gazhdhih that since it is fluid and fluid, it has long been known as a symbol for purification. A pool or dock, which was an undeniable part of the structure, could always bestow the opportunity to instantly access this purity element. The complete form of this petition for purification of water in the form of abstract or ablution finds a religion that has been prevalent in pre-Islamic periods in Zoroastrian religions. It is as if the pond and pool dipped in one of the pillars and parbons in the Iranian structure occupy a symbolic ritual. But apart from the water itself, the reflection of the image in the mirror of the water of the pool or the pool always invokes various symbols in the Iranian architecture; for example, the reflection of the shaky and slightly shadowy image of the structure inside the pond has always been a symbol of the transience of the instability of life, and has always had an inspiration for it. Avoiding dependence and attachment to the unlucky pleasures of life. Also, this reflection, especially when it was placed in front of the magnificent hills and lush green trees, opened the front of the paradise of Brin in the eyes of every visitor, and so on the iconic face of the rising and perfection of earthly life. The pool and pond with the reflection of the sky image were also a symbol of the unity of heaven and earth, or the Mino and the Gate. This meaning is rooted in the doctrine of evacuation and the complete nature of Mino in the universe, which at the end of the unity of the two will follow and will come to an end in the later or apocalyptic times.
