Hasht Behesht
Isfahan, Iran
1980 Aga Khan Winner
Three centuries ago Hasht Behesht--translated from Farsi to mean "eight
paradises"--was the primary residence of the king's harem. In the 1970s
its renovation (exterior above) helped train nearly 500 local
technicians in the science of historic renovation.
