Alongside his brother Nico, van der Laan had been teaching a course in church architecture, held inside a seventeenth-century kruithuis, or herb house, in Den Bosch for the past 23 years. On 23 November 1968 the Dutch architect and Benedictine monk Dom Hans van der Laan unfolded an eighteenth-century piece of fabric, the Douglas tartan, in order to explain the mechanisms of space to his students. © Van der Laan Archives, St-Benedictusberg Vaals.
