The Grande Arche, located in the La Défense district of Paris, France, is a monumental modernist structure that serves as a focal point of the area. Designed by Danish architect Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, the Grande Arche was completed in 1989 and inaugurated as part of the celebrations marking the bicentennial of the French Revolution. The structure is a 110-meter tall cube with a hollow center, symbolizing an open window to the world. It aligns perfectly with the historical axis of Paris, extending from the Louvre through the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe.
