The Dutch Benedictine monk and architect dedicated his life to the search for fundamental principles of architecture, and his thoughts on numerical relationships and dimensional systems were highly influential in mid-20th-century architectural theory. A House to Live With is the first book to comprehensively explore van der Laan’s residential buildings. Sixteen of them, built between 1966 and 1985, are featured in full detail through photographs and plans newly produced for this book, and analysed with regard to their compositional and design principles. Essays examine the mathematical relationships of numbers and volumes that are fundamental to van der Laan’s designs, alongside discussion of how he was influenced by ancient Roman architecture. Light is shed also on the interplay of house and garden and house and patio, and the positioning of the one large table in the house, which to van der Laan was of key significance. Thoroughly researched and highly readable, this volume introduces Hans van der Laan’s architectural ideas and housing designs in full, thus forming a rich and useful source for contemporary architects.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 280mmItem Length: 210mmContributor: Caroline Voet (Edited by), Hans W. van der Laan (Edited by)Author: Caroline VoetGenre: Architecture & AntiquesItem Width: 34mmItem Weight: 1452gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
