Description: This volume comprises an extremely accurate case study of Mariavall, a Benedictine abbey in Tomelilla, Sweden, wherein monk, architect and theorist Dom Hans van der Laan examines the building, unravelling the design process in a step-by-step, detailed analysis, the likes of which have never before been published. Prior to his death, Van der Laan garnered worldwide acclaim for his comprehensive architectural theory, which has been translated into several languages and presents a doctrine of connections in the design of architectonic space.
