Between 1920 and 1991, the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan (1904–91) developed his own proportional system based on the ratio 3:4, or the irrational number 1.3247. . ., which he called the plastic number. According to him, this ratio directly grew from discernment, the human ability to differentiate sizes, and as such would be an improvement over the golden ratio. To put his theories to the test, he developed an architectural language, which can best be described as elementary architecture. His oeuvre — four convents and a house — is published on an international scale. His buildings have become pilgrimage sites for practicing architects and institutions that want to study and experience his spaces. His 1977 book Architectonic Space: Fifteen Lessons on the Disposition of the Human Habitat, translated into English, French, German and Italian, still inspires architects today, as does his biography, Modern Primitive, written by the architect Richard Padovan in 1994. But beyond the inspiration of his writings and realisations, the actual application of the plastic number in Van der Laan’s designs is unclear. Moreover, Van der Laan’s theories seem to be directed towards one goal only: to present the plastic number as the only possible means by which eminent architecture can be achieved, making them a target for suspicion and critique.To understand and evaluate Van der Laan’s application of the plastic number, this paper approaches it as a practical design tool. It analyses its genealogy and defines its key concepts. From that framework, Van der Laan’s architectonic space is interpreted as a design methodology that combines antique tectonic theories reminiscent of writers from Plato to Vitruvius with more recent atectonic approaches towards space through experience and movement.

st. benedictusberg abbey near vaals, NL, 1968, architect: dom hans van der laan; "The St.Benedictusberg Abbey at Vaals (Netherlands) is a Benedectin Abbey which was built starting in 1922 as a simple quadrilater with two towers marking the corners and left unfinished for several years. In 1968 the main church, a crypt and an atrium were added following a project by Dutch architect Hans Van der Laan, who also designed the library, a sacristy and an open arcade around a new cloister, eventually completed in 1986. The architect, who was also a benedectine monk residing in the abbey until his death in 1991, was a prolific architectural theorist whose main contribution is about the fundamental principles of architecture and the combination of spatial and philosophical concepts with practical design tools. His main invention was a proportional system called “the plastic number“, which he considered an objective response to the fundamentals of perception, space qualities and elements of structure. The plastic number was not created to reveal any kind of “superior order of the world” and was not derived by nature; instead, it was a method which could be applied to the world, through the means of architecture, to structure our understanding of space. The plastic number is “premised upon that principle that we can understand and quantify the subjective experience of space”. Van der Laan’s built projects become testing grounds for his system: in the abbey, the plastic number defines the relationship among the single elements, the modules and correspondances within the cells, the open spaces, the heights and the openings ,right to the design of each single piece of furniture. The choice of rough and austere materials coupled with a complete lack of decoration underlines Van der Laan’s interest in an architecture completely defined by proportional rules and control of light."
