Notre-Dame Reopens in Paris After a Fire. It’s Astonishing.

New York Times  

Critic’s Notebook A Miracle: Notre-Dame’s Astonishing Rebirth From the Ashes Benoist de Sinety, former vicar general of Paris, was on his scooter that April evening in 2019, driving across the Pont Neuf toward the Left Bank when he spotted flames in his rearview mirror billowing from under the eaves of Notre-Dame. undefined New trends in Gothic design led Sully’s successors to radically revamp the design, raising the roof and doubling the size of windows to let more light into the cathedral. undefined Chapels were added … undefined … and, minus that spire, this ended up being pretty much the cathedral Viollet-le-Duc restored, whose 800-year-old oak rafters went up in flames five years ago. It helped the restorers that Rémi Fromont and Cédric Trentesaux, two French architects, had taken precise measurements of the roof structure in 2014, and that Andrew Tallon, a Belgian-born Vassar College professor who died in 2018, had digitally scanned Notre-Dame before the fire, mounting laser scanners on tripods at dozens of different spots around the cathedral, collecting more than a billion points of data.
