Abstract

Harmonie of niet? Het is een complexe vraag met een veelheid aan antwoorden. Deze publicatie is inspirerend voor architecten bij het maken van ontwerpkeuzes en ook voor bestuurders bij het nemen van ruimtelijke beslissingen. De stedenbouwkundige wetgeving is vaak erg formeel en stringent. Wat ontbreekt in het debat is de ruimtelijke kwaliteit, de harmonie van het gebouw met zijn directe omgeving.

Abstract

As models and paradigms, patterns have been helping to orient architects since the Middle Ages. But patterns are also the basis of the history of ornament, an aesthetic phenomenon that links all times and cultures at a fundamental level. Ornament - and hence pattern as well - was abolished by the avant-garde in the first half of the twentieth century, but the notion of pattern has taken on new meaning and importance since the 1960's. Complexity research has ultimately shown that even highly complex, dynamic patterns may be based on simple behavioral rules, and that has allowed the notions of pattern and pattern formation to take on new meanings, that are also central for architecture. Today the use of generative computerized methods is opening up new ways of talking about an idea that is becoming increasingly abstract and dynamic. Pattern explores the question: what are the notions of pattern that must be discussed in the context of contemporary architecture? Complex patterns are founded on simple rules. Pattern and pattern formation are of new, important significance as the fundamental principles of systematization and description of very complex processes and phenomena. Which idea of pattern has to be used in the architectural discourse today?

Abstract

In 1977 the Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan (1904-1991) publishes his book De Architectonische Ruimte. Vijftien Lessen over de Dispositie van het Menselijk Verblijf [Architectonic Space, fifteen lessons on the disposition of the human habitat]. It is an amplification of his first book Le nombre plastique. Quinze leçons sur lordonnance architectonique [Het plastische getal. Fifteen lessons on architectonic ordinance], an architectural theory and design manual published in 1960. As the introduction of Le nombre plastique explains, Van der Laan aims to restore, in all its objectivity, the fundamental and intrinsic architectural laws. The design methodology that he presents in order to achieve these laws in the building practice is based on the discernment, the human ability to differentiate sizes. It evolves around the concept of the margin, the boundary of the differences that only just can be perceived as a building stone for architecture. Besides this theory, Dom van der Laan develops a personal architectural style, which can best be described as elementary architecture. He regards his own realizations as specimen of his architectural theory and although his production is rather limited, only four convents and a house, it formulates a tangible and concrete background for his architectural doctrine.This research provides an in-depth understanding of Van der Laans architectural theory and its practical application, through a contextual and historical approach. It is conducted on two different levels, resulting in two interwoven, dialectic parts. The first approach focuses on the genealogy and evolution, as well as the historiography, of the work of Dom Hans van der Laan. What are his motivations? What is the context in which the work can be situated? What are the relevant influences that shaped Van der Laans own thoughts? Why this central focus on the proportional system of the 'plastic number' and how is this more than a mere formal aesthetics? Through the analysis of drawings, unpublished source material and his personal correspondence, the intrinsic relation between Van der Laans motivations and main sources, his teaching and realizations is mapped out. It shows how the hierarchical deep-level structure that Van der Laan is searching for, grows from his Benedictine and architectural background.The second approach focuses on the actual practical application of the plastic number in Van der Laans work. How does his design methodology feed into his design practice? What is the ground for his elementary architecture? Interwoven with the historical reconstruction of the first approach, this part is conceived as an annotated catalogue. As a red thread on Dom van der Laans design methodology and its application, it historically maps all of his design sketches, analytical diagrams, abstract models and realized projects. As such, it gives a clear account on the evolution of Van der Laans design methodology and how it actually works. It shows how his abstract archetypal models evolve into patterns and formulas that feed into his own elementary architecture. It explains Van der Laans main concepts of 'the margin', 'the plastic number' and of 'architectonic space', which intertwines 'mutual nearness' and 'dynamic superposition'. As such, it provides an all-comprising design manual on the methodology of architect

Abstract

Une étude morphologique des éléments essentiels composant l'espace architectural et des principes qui contrôlent l'organisation de l'environnement bâti ; essentiellement basé sur les illustratons qui amènent progressivement de la représentation de l'élément simple à l'élément compliqué. Troisième édition de ce classique de l'architecture. Un glossaire et un index terminent l'ouvrage.
