Notre Dame: a blow-by-blow account of the restoration process

I hadn&#x27;t seen recent photos until this article, and I didn&#x27;t realize how different Notre Dame looks now with all the wooden frames supporting the buttresses.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.graph.cool&#x2F;v1&#x2F;cj6c28vh912680101ozc2paxj&#x2F;ck167lker2lm90190z0orsdta&#x2F;0x0:462x617&#x2F;960x960&#x2F;figure_7_the_platform_positioned_above_the_vaults.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.graph.cool&#x2F;v1&#x2F;cj6c28vh912680101ozc2paxj&#x2F;ck167...</a>

That is really beautiful work, I didn&#x27;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.

Recent panel about the restoration: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EEsH2ao7PCU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=EEsH2ao7PCU</a>

Any official news on the exact cause yet? Was it definitely faulty wiring?

&gt; 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...
