Joseph Christian Lillie practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Joseph Christian Lillie as Danish architect (1760-1827).
Joseph Christian Lillie was born at Copenhagen in 1760. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Denmark. He trained at Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect, designer and furniture designer.
Among his best-known works are Lindesche Villa and Helenen-Paulownen-Mausoleum. Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.
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.
Joseph Christian Lillie died in 1827, aged 67. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
