In the history of building, Christian Friedrich Schuricht is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Christian Friedrich Schuricht as German architect (1753–1832).
Christian Friedrich Schuricht was born at Dresden in 1753. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Saxony.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect, printmaker and landscape architect.
An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Saxony shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Christian Friedrich Schuricht died in 1832, aged 79. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
