Life
Jux was a student of Le Corbusier . His bridge construction was an important identity-building infrastructure project. The Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge , popularly known as the Red Bridge , spans the Alzette valley and connects the city center of Luxembourg with the Europaviertel on the Kirchberg plateau .
