 The
square in front of Amalienborg Palace was intended to be the
main street of a new urban plan, which should be considered as
one of the friendliest in Europe. Planning Frederiksstaden began
in 1749, by a series Copenhagen shipping magnate and wealthy
merchants decided to expand the city in its civilian expansion
continues. The central importance of classical sounding
Amalienborg is a result of this planning. The sprawling complex
has very urban character. As a model was the development of the
Garden City.
The castle was designed by the Danish architect Nicolai Eigtved
(1701 - 1754) who built a number of buildings in Denmark. He is
co-founder of the Danish "neoclassicism" and is considered a
connoisseur of the Rococo. His buildings includes Friedrichsruh
Castle in Schleswig-Holstein.
After six years of work by 2010 a total of 5200 m² area had been
renewed. 250 years, the building now endures. Ten of them,
during the renovations, Amalienborg remained uninhabited.
Together with architects own restoration plan has been developed.
This includes ensuring that various floors in the building can
be achieved only by an entrance could, why an additional
staircase was built.
On Goethe's color theory in the rehabilitation of the colored stucco ceiling just was referred to as the accent color
gradation of individual adjacent and consecutive spaces in the
symmetrical construction of the castle building.
A chapter entitled "Art in the Palace" by Poul Erik Tøjner
consists of an introduction text and an image part that deals
exclusively with the redesign inside the castle. Highest
artistic standards come into play when murals, floor tiles and
other areas have been designed new and modern. Residents in
