An embassy is a symbol of unique cultural, social and political aspects of a specific country. Historically it becomes a place for a country’s representative(s) to communicate in a civilized and acceptable manner. Communications among embassies have traditionally been a great resource for international diplomacy that promotes peace and friendship. An embassy is an office building that specializes in diplomatic relationships and a great representative for one culture. Presenting a culture requires multifaceted revelation of its aspects. In the project Architecture of Poetry was derived from Persian poetry. In order to understand Persian culture and its classical poetry, the methodology includes discussion of Ferdosi’s Shähnameh (The Epic of Kings). Persian poetry is deeply rooted in its history and culture.
