TREE
A tree has on the ground floor an open public space with only the stem bearing a cloud of leaves and branches. In this case four stems bearing a BOX (the museum, offices, cafe …) and a open public space (shadowed) at ground level. Two wind chimneys and two columns are the stems bearing the BOX.

GEOMETRICAL DECORATION
The outside of the BOX is designed with a geometrical pattern based on a mosque in Tabriz. But unlike a mosque this geometrical pattern defines the shapes of the windows (sometimes covered with metal sheets) of the box. Since the BOX is lifted from the ground, the pattern is on all sides of the BOX.

PARADISE
A paradise is located in the centre of the BOX. It is not a paradise in the traditional way: a beautiful walled garden with fountains, located in the desert, irrigated by underground water derived from the mountains. But a modern one: a forest of trees (the lungs of the earth), not a garden, located in the centre and top of the BOX.

GOLDEN RATIO
Throughout the building the golden ratio 1,618 to 1 (approximately) is used. In the floorpan, in the elevations and in the decoration.
