Cinema: The inconnu de la Grande Arche
Overview
Intro
In 1983, President François Mitterrand announced the winner of a major architectural competition: the Danish architect Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, who had been virtually unknown until then.
Brought from the lecture hall to Paris, he takes charge of the construction of the Grande Arche in La Défense. Navigating the balance between strict formal ideals and practical construction, he deals with bids, structural engineering issues, and shifting political interests. As deadlines and budgets loom, he defends his vision against outside influences and misunderstandings—and grapples with how much compromise his architecture can allow.
