$1 billion raised to rebuild Paris' Notre Dame after fire
From Sacre Coeur in Paris to the cities of Strasbourg in the east and Rouen in the west, the architectural treasures of France solemnly marked the inferno, two days after it ravaged the gothic cathedral, widely regarded as the soul of France.
Prominent French conservation architect Pierluigi Pericolo told Inrocks magazine the restoration work could take"no less than 15 years. ... It's a colossal task." Speaking after a meeting at the presidential palace about the monument's reconstruction, Bern said Macron didn't express his views regarding the rebuilding of the cathedral's lead roof, or whether the frame should be restored in wood like the destroyed one, or in metal or concrete. He also said France would hold an international architecture competition to determine whether the collapsed 19th-century spire would be rebuilt to the same design or a new one.
"If the fire reached this wooden structure, the bell tower would have been lost," de Matos said at a news conference."From the moment we lose the war of the bell towers, we lose the cathedral, because it's a chain-reaction collapse." Paris Firefighters' spokesman Lt.-Col. Gabriel Plus said that even though they are in good condition, a"threat" continues to the gables, or support walls, because of the heavy stone statues perched on top of them.
