As we know, every art, including poetry, music, painting, architecture, etc. has two inseparable parts of form and content, and the form is selected to convey the content desired by the author of that art. The form of Shahnameh has been chosen as ode (Masnavi), due to the presence of a narrative element in it, and the verse of Shahnameh are on a meter (poetry weight) that has a heavy and epic rhythm. On the other hand, the content of Shahnameh narrative depicts the opposition, duality and conflict of good and evil, in general. Based on this, it was decided that this narrative of the opposition of good and evil, as well as the heavy weight of the verses, will affect our architectural form; So that, by placing four heavy cubes (which represents the meter of Shahnameh verses), the dominant design form appears.
