He wanted a XXth century version of the Arc de Triomphe. La Grande Arche de La Défense was designed by Otto von Spreckelsen and It has a prestressed concrete frame covered with glass and Carrara marble from Italy and was built by the French civil engineering company Bouygues.

The Arche is turned at an angle of 6.33° on this axis however, a peculiarity which has been explained by several theories. In particular, the architect is said to have wanted to emphasise the depth of the monument, while the specific angle was chosen to create symmetry with the similarly-skewed Louvre at the other end of the Axe. However, it seems the most important reason was mundanely technical: with a métro station, an RER station, and a motorway all situated directly underneath the Arche, the angle was the only way to accommodate the structure's giant foundations.<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFOwfnxZZcfwwL0sYCEPD5DaWfrJYA0mBYYGgAbCz03K6HFROHtemBrYinJSzMsCbxrdULQM80ioPEvwhlCJEbgkCxRlzznOtbHlpbtBnaQ7CQOWfNZPWftVaLycxlyGOOZUo2V7kR9cE/s1600-h/La+Grande+Arche+beautiful+in+night+large.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340210488743388322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqFOwfnxZZcfwwL0sYCEPD5DaWfrJYA0mBYYGgAbCz03K6HFROHtemBrYinJSzMsCbxrdULQM80ioPEvwhlCJEbgkCxRlzznOtbHlpbtBnaQ7CQOWfNZPWftVaLycxlyGOOZUo2V7kR9cE/s400/La+Grande+Arche+beautiful+in+night+large.jpg" style="float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 160px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie2uDYas5rdUxQ6LnhiDig_-bLDU7PPsYn7J3iK5WmS1Cs4RaeTmFZFrj9pAkLAXecfGI2eyRLBqNT2CmyhAvlHaPcCOvu15ymYt9Z48Tzp-OgJcyyl6GERJRH8phUrhKhTFIu_Sqiyaa8/s1600-h/The+110+m+tall+La+Grande+Arche+2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340210484278044994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie2uDYas5rdUxQ6LnhiDig_-bLDU7PPsYn7J3iK5WmS1Cs4RaeTmFZFrj9pAkLAXecfGI2eyRLBqNT2CmyhAvlHaPcCOvu15ymYt9Z48Tzp-OgJcyyl6GERJRH8phUrhKhTFIu_Sqiyaa8/s400/The+110+m+tall+La+Grande+Arche+2.jpg" style="float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 160px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Building Information:</span> It is a 348 ft white building with the middle part left open.
