Designing Didar Park - Babolsar
Didar Park in Babolsar was designed with the goal of creating a dynamic and inclusive public space, with a novel approach to social interaction and a connection to nature. This complex, with a blend of hardscape and softscape elements, strives to elevate the experience of being in a green space from a mere necessity into a multifaceted and memorable experience.
The overall form of the park utilizes a regular geometry in its hardscape (pathways and central plaza) and fluid lines in its softscape (green areas and tree planting), along with materials such as exposed concrete, brick, and wood. This approach conveys a sense of dynamism, vitality, and connection to both the urban and local fabric. Prominent elements like the terraced amphitheater and the central sculptural volume with Persian calligraphy not only define diverse functional spaces but also add depth to the project"s cultural and visual identity. The thoughtful use of urban furniture and tactile paving for the visually impaired enhances comfort and accessibility for all members of the community.
This design is an example of the integration of contemporary landscape architecture with the principles of inclusive design; a place where form, function, and the environment are in service of creating a public meeting place and enhancing the quality of life. Didar Park now stands as a symbol of a cultural destination, a social hub, and beauty within its urban landscape
