The above image highlights the control tower of Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, where the navigation orders are transmitted in this imposing airport center. Without a doubt, a jewel of architecture.
The Oriental Art Center, Shanghai, China is a majestic work of art of modern architecture that leaves an indelible mark on the curriculum of this master of architecture. Commissioning in 2004 this Cultural Center has three special spaces: A Hall for the 1979 Philharmonic Orchestra, an Opera Theater with 1,054 seats and a Music Room for 330 people, as well as shops, restaurants and a center of artistic information, as well as installations for the assembly of any scenographic spectacle.

A stain in his prestigious career is the collapse of Terminal 2E of Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, in 2004 and in which 4 people died: The investigating commission determined that the cause of the collapse was a variety of technical causes And the lack of safety margins in the design, Andreu attributed the collapse to the poor execution of the construction companies. For my part, I give the reason to Andreu, because the safety factors must be calculated by the engineers in charge of the execution of the work and must give judgment on the feasibility of the construction of the design in question.
He is also a member of the following organizations
Academy of Arts and Letters of France
National Academy of Architecture of France
French Technology Academy
Really a master and creative genius of those who are only born once and who must enjoy their works.
