From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Frederik Møller (b. 1898 in Skanderborg, Denmark - d. 1988) was a Danish architect.
Christian Frederik Møller was at first educated as a mason, and was later admitted to The Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole in 1920.
He started own architectural office C.F.

Møller and Kay Fisker created a common architectural office in Aarhus in 1934, but the cooperation ended in 1942. C.F. Møller was the Royal Construction Inspector in 1953-1968, and was appointed in 1965 as the first rector of the newly founded Archirectural School in Aarhus. The C.F. Møllers Allé in Ørestaden, Copenhagen is named after him.
