The Patriot Memorial is a conceptual development of the schema of a flag, which is the most important symbol of the homeland and is erected as a token of honor by a patriot at the top of a hill. This flag also has the identity and heritage of historical architecture as an urban landmark.
- A soldier is a human being who gives his life to the homeland or loses it and becomes valuable.
- Homeland, or birthplace, is the most important and most important of all people and as a mother word for a soldier is a sacred and romantic subject.
- The path, or way, is a sacred part of the life of a soldier who has taken a step towards serving his homeland.
- The flag is the most important symbol or sign of the homeland and as such is sacred and respected by all.
- The devoted soldier, in the points of conquest and success, raises the holy flag of his homeland on a high place without any observation, and the flag soldier is a symbol of a holy conquest and movement, brave and military.
- Military service, or being a patriot soldier, is a path of a person's sacred life that he has done in front of his homeland and flag and it becomes a lasting reality.
- The site is also the place where all the adjacent influential forces interact based on a logical response to performance.
- Raising the flag, a soldier who has conquered land or succeeded in an operation lowers the flag there, and this is the most important sign left of a soldier's ideal in that particular place.
- The architect tries to raise the flag in the symbolic metaphor of a devoted soldier on the way home in an abstract way at the site.
- The site's opportunities, the most important of which is the hill-like topography, reinforce the potential of the idea of raising a flag at the top of a hill, and the designer has used it to locate the monument and become an urban landmark.
- The shape of the flag has been designed as the main form of the monument on the site and has been combined with other ideas such as proximity to the museum, east to west wind and traditional Iranian architecture.
- Reference to Karbandi, an advanced and valuable geometric system in traditional Iranian architecture that has great potential for updating in the parametric field and the designer has used it to globalize the effect of the monument.
- The memorial is an abstract combination of the true form of two flags raised in the wind with static considerations, and its semi-transparent spatial structure makes it possible to enter the passage space inside and perceive the story of the patriot.
