How could that be? &ldquo;Perhaps [it is] because Copenhagen is designed for people &mdash; for life. From architecture to infrastructure to food and culture, Copenhagen has plenty to offer&rdquo;, describes <a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/141208175/the-queen-s-architect-listen-to-archinect-sessions-one-to-one-2-with-jens-bertelsen" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jens Bertelsen</a>, CEO and a founding partner of locally based practice&nbsp;<a href="http://archinect.com/bertelsenscheving" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bertelsen &amp; Scheving</a>.

Bertelsen&rsquo;s official title under the Danish monarch (Queen Margrethe II) translates to something like &ldquo;Royal Building Inspector,&rdquo; &ldquo;Royal Builder&rdquo; or &ldquo;Royal Surveyor,&rdquo; but essentially means he's responsible for making sure that all the structures belonging to the monarchy stay in shape, and ideally, in use. This includes buildings like the&nbsp;Danish Parliament and the royal family&rsquo;s winter home, Amalienborg Castle.</p><p>Bertelsen's firm, <a href="http://bsarkitekter.dk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bertelsen &amp; Scheving</a>, was founded in 2007 in Copenhagen, and specializes in historic preservation work. Bertelsen will hold the Royal Builder position until 2016.</p><p>Listen to Archinect Sessions One-to-One #2 with <strong>Jens Bertelsen</strong>:</p><ul><li><strong>iTunes</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/neil-denari/id1057340260?i=356797877" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to listen&nbsp;and subscribe to the new&nbsp;"Archinect Sessions One-to-One" podcast</a></li><li><strong>SoundCloud</strong>:&nbsp;<a href="http://soundcloud.com/archinect" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">click here to follow Archinect</a></li><li><strong>RSS</strong>: subscribe with any of your ...</li></ul>
