This design research aims to create an intermediate connection between inspired works and insights, “Haft Peykar” by Nizami Ganjavi and “Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology Philosophy and its Impact on Horizontal Ontological Architecture.”.
Nizami, in the beautiful description of the Haft Peykar, its shimmering and changing color with the change of the angle of the sun, the perfect combination of color between each dome and the garment, says that assigning a color to each day of the week means turning time, which is an abstract matter, into a tangible entity. The idea of motifs has been created either through harmony or contrast. One of the outstanding creations in Haft Peykar is the discovery of very subtle similarities between objects and other objects. In most poems, multiple similes are seen. While we compare the first object to the second, the second is also compared to the third and sometimes the fourth element, and the poet presents an extraordinary mixture of connections and proportions between these similes.

Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology philosophy, an ontology that emphasizes the breakdown of spatial hierarchies and vertical categorization, is founded on a world of objects wrapped in other objects. In horizontal ontology, whole things are composed of other whole things and not of parts; this theory proposes multiple outsides and insides instead of one outside and one inside, which delays how the mass is not dependent on the platform of the project. By resisting harmony with the physical features of the substrate, ground, and mass are separated and viewed as two independent but equally important architectural issues.
