I hadn't seen recent photos until this article, and I didn't realize how different Notre Dame looks now with all the wooden frames supporting the buttresses.<p><a href="https://images.graph.cool/v1/cj6c28vh912680101ozc2paxj/ck167lker2lm90190z0orsdta/0x0:462x617/960x960/figure_7_the_platform_positioned_above_the_vaults.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.graph.cool/v1/cj6c28vh912680101ozc2paxj/ck167...</a>
That is really beautiful work, I didn't know people could do things like this anymore. Much admiration for people that can pull together and put up such high levels of craftsmanship.

> will it be the object of a contemporary “architectural gesture”, as suggested by the master-mind of Notre Dame’s restoration, President Emmanuel Macron?<p>Please, no. Restore it to before the spire, or with the spire, either is fine.<p>But please please no modern monstrosity that will age about as well as La Cité Radieuse...
