The Church in The Hague by Aldo van Eyck: The Presence of the Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Rectangle in the Compositional Scheme of the Plan.

This paper analyses the presence of the Fibonacci numbers and the golden section within a characteristic project of one of the twentieth century's leading architects: the Pastoor Van Ars church in The Hague designed by Aldo van Eyck. By means of a thorough analysis of the building based on field work and consultation of unpublished documents, it is possible to show that the compositional scheme of the plan of the church seems to have been designed according to Fibonacci relationships and the golden rectangle.
