Christian Frederik Hansen belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Christian Frederik Hansen as Danish architect.
Christian Frederik Hansen was born in 1756. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Denmark.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Denmark shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Christian Frederik Hansen died in 1845, aged 89. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
