About This Walk
This walk is inside and outside around the premises of The Ismaili Center. Surrounded by expansive green spaces, the five-story tripartite structure integrates Islamic design influences with contemporary architectural technology. Three volumes are connected by eivans – elevated verandas rooted in Persian architectural tradition. Mashrabiya-inspired concrete screens in the atrium and walls crafted like tapestry in stone offer modern reinterpretations of Persian and Islamic architectural traditions, reduce artificial lighting, and reinforce a sense of openness and fluidity.
We will meet at the south side of the property at the reflecting pool to photograph the pool, building and gardens and then work around the center to the north side views. From there, we will move indoors to capture the beautiful interior with geometric designs, vaulted ceilings and gathering spaces and atriums.
If all goes as planned we can meet at the Tapestry Cafe for some refreshments, they serve snacks, as well as tempting breakfast and lunch items
