Hermann Baagøe Storck belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Hermann Baagøe Storck as Danish architect (1839–1922).
Hermann Baagøe Storck was born at Skibby in 1839. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Denmark. He trained at Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
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 Hirschsprung Collection. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog, Decoration of the Cross of Honour of the Dannebrog and commander of the Order of the Dannebrog.
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.
Hermann Baagøe Storck died in 1922, aged 83. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
