Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe as Norwegian architect (1833–1901).
Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe was born at Kristiansand Municipality in 1833. His recorded nationality is Norway. He trained at Leibniz University Hannover.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect.
His best-known building is Torpo Church. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Norway shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe died in 1901, aged 68. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
