Tracing Sasanian Gardens : Within and Beyond the City: Royal Parks and Palatial Landscapes in Late Antique Southwestern Asia, avec Parsa Ghasemi, Chercheur associé à l’équipe OrAM (UMR7041 – ArScAn)

In this presentation, P. Ghasemi will discuss the gardens and green spaces during the Sasanian period, focusing on both urban and rural settings across Mesopotamia and the Iranian plateau. The talk will examine how the Sasanians adapted their landscape management techniques to various environmental conditions, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, where they ingeniously transformed barren lands into flourishing gardens and paradisiacal spaces. By analyzing archaeological evidence, this presentation will shed light on the approaches that the Sasanians used to integrate nature into their built environment, demonstrating their mastery in creating sustainable and aesthetically pleasing landscapes.

Parsa Ghasemi‘s research interests encompass landscape archaeology, remote sensing, Sasanian archaeology, and the Late Antique world of western and central Asia. He has directed 15 archaeological projects, including both excavations and surveys, primarily in the Pars region, Iran, from 2005–2024.
