Space, Time & Van der Laan Jonathan Middleton Space, Time & Van Der Laan Acknowledgements I am gratefully indebted to the Father Abbot, and the Benedictine monks of Abdij Sint Benedictusberg, Vaals for their warm welcome and their gracious hospitality during my stays as their guest between 2007 and 2010. In particular I am grateful to Father Lambertus, guardian of the Van Der Laan archive, for granting me access to the archive and permitting me to study the original drawings and models. I am also grateful to Wim Johanessma (Brother William) for his hospitality in Brussels, introductions, translations, and encouragement. I am further grateful to him for granting me the opportunity to visit Van der Laan’s Conventual Retreat at Roosenberg, and the Convent in nearby Waasmunster. Finally, I am most grateful to Richard Padovan for introducing me to the work of Van der Laan in the first place, and together with Terry Robson, instilling in me a desire to always seek the essential.
