Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.

An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
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.
Frederik Ferdinand Friis died in 1865, aged 72. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
