What we build in turquoise & gold

آنچه از فیروزه و زر می‌سازیم

I

✦Geometry that outlasts a regime

The Achaemenid grid — winged capital, lotus, fluted shaft — is set on a 12-column Helvetica rule, unchanged in 2,500 years.هندسه‌ی پایدار

II

✦Firouzeh, never aqua

III

✦Helvetica beside nasta'liq, as equals

Swiss Latin display sits on the same baseline as flowing nasta'liq — two scripts, one column, no translator's footnote.دو خط، یک ستون

IV

✦Restraint is the only ornament

One gold rule, one rosette, one column — anything more becomes bazaar. The 1971 pavilion was austere; we keep it that way.شکوه در ایجاز
