Another one of my favorite structures that Paul Andreu had the chance to work on is the National Grand Theatre located in Beijing.  The building that is known as the “Giant Egg” was finished being built in 2007, and they started working on it in 2001.  The National Grand Theatre is in a great location because it is very close to the Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden city, which is a very popular for people in the country of China to be at.  It’s very different from a lot of buildings in China and because of that it got a lot of controversy from Chinese natives, but Andreu wanted to bring more of a modern building that had water, lots of trees, and a lot of open space to compliment the existing structures in Beijing.
