Until then, the fifty-year-old Danish had only built 4 buildings: his home and three small chapels.Overnight, "Spreck" becomes the center of attention and is thrust under the spotlight. Above all, he finds himself at the head of a colossal project with huge political and economic stakes: building the Great Arch of La Défense.
