Paul Andreu, the architect who took off with airports, died in 2018, at the age of 80. Terminal 1 at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, an austere bunker-like terminal, a circle which earned it the nickname "camembert"? Built around an empty ring open to the sky like a call to take flight, a giant abyss sucking in and re-diffusing travelers.

The building was a landmark, to counteract the more sensible, linear and glass one, by Henri Vicario, at Orly, finished thirteen years earlier.
