Why is this case relevant?

The Saljoghi walls around Kashan were built in 11 century for defending purposes towards enemies. This complex had a significant role in the safety of the city during the history. During the time the city grows also out of the castle, but around the Jalali complex pasture land and also greenery started to be dominated. Nowadays despite the contrary between agricultural land and the physical features and the identity of these walls gardens and agricultural part began to be dominated around and inside of this area. In my point of view now as Jalali walls play a significant role in the surrounding landscape. First of all gardeners and pasture lands integrated with it, second it is a sign of the city in it.

Which idea of ‘design with nature’ guides the design concept of this site?
