Alighapoo places is a massive structure standing high in seven floor
and 48 meteres on the west side of the "Naghshe Jahan Squere"

The colourful mosaic stairs of Alighapoo

 Alighapoo-Sixth floor(Music Room)
There are deep curvy niches cut on the walls in form of shelves which account for the pleasing sound effects in the room.This room is also tastefully decorated,but the quality of the room it's a main attraction.

Islamic Architecture of Persia:
The fall of the Persian empire to invading Islamic forced led to the creation of remarkable religious buildings in Iran.
Arts such as calligraphy,stucco work,mirror work and mosaics became closely tied with architecture in Iran in the new era.

Combination of mirror work,stucco work and fine Geometry

Many experts believe the period of Persian architecture from 15th  through  17th centuries CE to be the pinnacle of the post-Islamic era.Various structures such as mosques,mausoleums,bazaars,bridges and places have survived from this period.
SAfavid Isfahan tried to achieve grandeur in scale(Isfahan's Naghsh-i Jahan Square is the sixth largest square worldwide)

When the major monuments of Islamic Persian architecture are examined,they reveal complex geometrical relationships,a studied hierarchy of form and ornament and great depths of symbolic meaning.
In the words of Arthur U. Pope,who carried out extensive studies in ancient Persian an Islamic buildings:
"The meaningful impact of Persian architecture is versatile.Not overwhelming but dignified,magnificent and impressive."

Research

I thought maybe you've never seen Persian Architecture before.I decided that in my research talk about our architecture.
Part1-Introduction(Pre-Islamic Architecture)
Materials:
Available building materials major forms in traditional Iranian architecture.Heavy clays.readily available at various places throughout the plateau,have encouraged the development of the most primitive of all building techniques.
At first they used  moulded mud,compressed as solidly as possible,and allowed to dry.Also facilitated the development and use brick.
Geometry:

Symmetrical Architecture

Lapidary Geometry with fine Symmetry

Persian architecture using pure forms such as circles and squares,and plans are based on often symmetrical layouts.

Pre-Islamic Architecture of Persia:
The pre-Islamic styles draw on 3000 to 4000 years  of architectural development from various civilizations of the Iranian plateau.
