A foundational treatise by Benedictine monk-architect Dom Hans van der Laan, Architectonic Space explores the philosophical and mathematical principles underlying spatial proportion and human perception in architecture. Profoundly influential in architectural theory, it articulates van der Laan’s “Plastic Number” system as a bridge between sacred order and built form.
