Amir Abbas Aboutalebi, The chief editor of Villa Magazine, Iranian architect, journalist, and the conference curator, introduced the phrase "Bagh e Irani" instead of "Persian Garden" to the conference. He said, there is wisdom behind the perfect design of "BAGH" which is the original result of an inspired and intelligent application of different fields of knowledge, i.e. technology, water management, engineering, architecture, and agriculture. He then presented "Bagh Ideology" vs "Bagh Typology". "The #BAGH is a paradigm not only of architecture but of ideology; it is a myth of fantasy through which is generated by psychological rather than utilitarian needs.
