Rudolf Frimodt Clausen was a Danish architect born in Copenhagen on 29 June 1861 to the bishop Johannes Clausen and grandson of the theologian Henrik Nicolai Clausen.
Between 1886 and 1888 Frimodt Clausen worked as conductor for Vilhelm Theodor Walther. Later Frimodt Clausen worked a great deal in Aarhus as an architect. In 1891 he became architect for Aarhus Oliefabrik where he continued to work for the rest of his life. He designed the Ceres Brewery, the buildings in Guldsmedgade 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, Store Torv 7 and the corner buildings on St. Paul's Church Sqaure.
In Frimodt Clausen's work can be seen inspiration from Anton Rosen in the early 1900s. Like other architects during this period he made buildings in both the National Romantic and Neoclassical style. He followed the architecturla developments as can be seen in P.P. Ørumsgade where a city block was constructed in 1933-35 after designs by Frimodt Clausen in a Functionalist style.
Frimodt Clausen died on 7 March 1950 in Aarhus.
