In studying or designing urban public green spaces, the first step is paying serious attention to cultural values, historic background, ideological principles, aesthetics criteria and environmental conditions of the society. These factors are so important that neglecting even one, can reduce quality of design and alter the unity and wholeness of the design as a desired identity for a specific society with its own culture and ideas. This article endeavors to introduce a pattern as “Garden of Existence” based on Iranian intellectual cultural foundations with benefiting from historic experiences of Iranian civilization. This pattern is based on Iranian points of view about existence of human beings. Indeed symbolic meanings and signs of existence and its hierarchy are manifested in the plan, space, functions and spatial organization of the garden. The main headings of the article are as follows: introduction, introducing the hierarchy of existence, geometrical form of the garden, bounds of the garden, entrance of the garden, the center of the garden, the third domain of the garden, the main functions of domains of the garden, principles and foundations of symbols, management of the garden, and conclusion.
