Priorij Emmaus-2
Dom Hans van der Laan (1904 - 1991) was a Dutch Benedictine monk and architect. He was one of the leading figures in the post-war architecture movement, the Bossche School. Jan de Jong (1917-2001) was his student and in 1966 he designed the building where the exhibition can be seen: the priory at Buitenplaats Doornburgh. The architecture of the Bossche School is based on the 'plastic number', a spatial formula that determines the ideal size ratio of buildings. The peak of this architectural movement was in the 60s and 70s, but even now buildings are being designed that are inspired by the Bossche school.
