	Architecture in China
		Andreu's vision - a $300-million structure that is not so much a building as it is a futuristic bubble set in an artificial lake - has been repeatedly stalled by objections of Beijingers who derisively refer to it as the "alien egg." Others have not been so kind calling it a "Giant Turd."
		One round of recent scrutiny by a panel of Chinese architects and designers not only delayed the project by as much as a year, but resulted in one of four theaters being trimmed from the egg over spiraling cost concerns.
		Andreu's National Theater, the largest and most visionary construction project in central Beijing for a quarter of a century, is a case in point.

	10 Wonders of the New China \| BusinessWeek
		Intended to stand out amid the Chinese capital's bustling streets and ancient buildings, the structure has garnered criticism among Bejing's citizens for clashing with classic landmarks like the Monument to the People's Heroes (dedicated to revolutionary martyrs), the vast home of the National People's Congress, or Tiananmen Gate itself (the Gate of Heavenly Peace).
		French architect Paul Andreu is no stranger to controversy -- or to innovative forms.
		A generation ago, in 1974, his untraditional design for Terminal 1 of Paris's Charles de Gaulle airport was criticized for its unusual curves, yet Andreu's groundbreaking, futuristic building later was seen to distinguish de Gaulle from more generic European and international air hubs.
