Amsterdam architect wants to replace Notre Dame spire with 3D projection
Amsterdam architect Marten Wassmann thinks the spire of Notre Dame should not be rebuilt with wood, stone, steel or glass. The spire of Notre Dame was a landmark of the cathedral and the Paris skyline for 160 years, until it was destroyed in a devastating fire last month. "The dynamic projection of the celebration tower is a particularly sustainable solution for the opportunity described by Edouard Phillippe, that the new tower will reflect the possibilities and challenges of our time." The French government wants to make haste with the restoration of Notre Dame, and launched an architecture competition for the spire.
