Architectura & Natura Press, 1994, Paperback, 260, An extensive study of the Dutch architect, designer and theologian Dom Hans van der Laan, this book considers at length his architectural theories, and in particular his ideas on proportion. It also provides a revealing analysis of the development of van der Laan's way of thinking and his style of building, and sets these in the context of the history of architectural theory and the development of architecture in the 20th century. This book is a contribution to the literature on van der Laan - it tells readers much about the architect himself, but also about architecture in general., Goed
