Tropics architecture is the architecture of humility and contentment. Every brick, every foundation and every wall of that is containing and consequent of the thought of the men who have taught during history how and in what way to live on this dirt land and in the conditions in which they have been obliged to live? How and by what means to make a paradise from a desert? Yazd residents have become experienced and hard working during their full of incidents history. Since they believe the water as a precious and unique pearl they look after it like a pearl. They perspire thousands of times for gaining each drop of water. Indeed their trees are irrigated by their perspiration. Therefore it is not surprising if you observe that in this wide sandy land in which the sun shines more and more and torments human being, someone can drink water as cool as flowing water from snowy mountains. What are these hands really? What is this thought that believes making cool water in this fireplace? Believes constructing a reservoir by some bricks and an amount of mortars and taking efforts a little that can be a water carrier for the deserts thirsty men during drought and dry summers. We praise powerful tropics architect with his great art. Creation of cold among the heat and making a knapsack of affection full of love and eagerness.
