But that doesn't mean it will be rebuilt identically. Since an international architecture contest has been organised, we can fear it will lead to a post-modern abomination... I made a donation thinking it would be rebuilt exactly as it was before, but President Macron doesn't want to miss the opportunity to print his mark in history by making a modern Spire...

LucidDreamer Entertainment It may seem odd, but the combined weight of the spire and roof are required to keep the structure intact. If the weight is reduced by using, even another similar but natural material, like zinc, the building could suffer structurally as the weight of Zinc is considerably less than Lead. The only solution is to again use lead and ignore the nonsense that stipulates elemental lead is poisonous, toxic and dangerous...lead is only dangerous when it’s a compound.

Yes, but this is also a massive feat for architecture and engineering. Please understand that an intense fire changes the structure of the rock that survived, too. So everything has to be carefully taken into account to literally achieve the miracle of resurrecting Notre Dame de Paris... It may take 5 years, or 10 years, or more. But it will be done exquisitely, brilliantly, precisely and -- with God's help -- successfully. Each recovered broken piece can be saved for a future museum exhibit or other appropriate use. The French people's deputies in the government voted on behalf of the people for a faithful, exact recreation of what was destroyed. That is the plan. It will still be a miracle when it is done. I urge everyone to donate whatever they are able to contribute.

@@johnqpublic4055 Because steel has massive problems with heat. While steel melts at around 1200°C to 1500°C it looses most of its strength at around 800°C (your average camp-fire temperature). No firefighter can estimate how much weight the roof can still support when looking at it. Wood on the other hand burns relatively even and the burnt pieces form a protective carbon layer around it, meaning everything under it still has near 100% strength. Therefore you look at the thickness of the beam and roughly estimate its remaining strength. Yes, with a steel roof fires are more unlikely, but if one were to break out the damage would be a great deal worse.

Has anyone discovered who set the blaze? It was without doubt arson as the timbers of the roof would have been impossible to set afire without an accelerant, which is also indicated by the color of the smoke during the fire. Someone or some cause is to blame and this needs to be discovered before more great architecture is damaged or destroyed. There must be a reckoning for such wanton destruction. There isn’t a single person acquainted with accelerants who would doubt this wasn’t arson in addition to anyone aquatinted with how oak ages, arson is not the question, the only question is who and why.

Actually, they have ruled out arson. No accelerant has been found. It also started on a portion of the roof that very few people have access to. They have been able to track it down to either cigarettes, or an electrical socket. Basically, it has been tracked back to the people doing the restoration. Lots of cigarette butts were found in the area the fire started. Meaning that the people doing the restoration have been smoking there a lot. It was also found the the power tools being used were in excess of safety limits for the sockets. How can a cigarette butt start a huge fire like that? It happens all the time. We had a bridge here that was really old and large portions of it were made of wood. It constantly got set on fire by people just tossing their cigarette butts on the ground. Usually after a sporting event. They'd get kicked around, or blown by the wind and end up on some wood and set it a blaze. It was such a problem, that they finally just rebuilt the bridge. I'm sure a simple Google search would turn up many buildings new and old being burned down by just a simple little cigarette butt.

Lots have been said by the media but no the framework of the roof will be made in oak wood like the original. Oak trees have already been selected and coordinated by France Bois Forêt for the provision of 1,000 century-old oak trees coming from both public and private owners from all over the country. The mobilisation around the rebirth of Notre-Dame de Paris is national. Individuals donated half of the felled oaks, with the National Forestry Office donating the other half. 4,000 square meters of woods and forests will thus be used to rebuild one of the most beautiful monuments in France.

For people that say that we could use the money for the ocean or the amazon or something please read the following: A billion dollars is objectively a nice amount of money, but if you were to donate it to a cause like an ocean clean up foundation or an amazon rainforest foundation it wouldn’t be enough money to make even a small dent in the current problem. To clean all of the ocean you would need much more money, but also the plastic and pollution would still come in from people like you and me. Plastic flows from rivers and oceans and chemicals come from factories from all around the world. The amazon forest (a billion dollars donated) would only make a small dent in the fires… which would be reversed, why? Because the citizens of Bresil WANT the fires to happen, they want to burn the trees, so plant trees and they will burn them again… It’s horrible, but we need to do the same thing: hit at the source: do something about Bolsonaro. I will assume you are young, less than 15 because you don’t know the value of culture and buildings. The world is complicated, If we could fix the amazon and solve climate change, we would. You will learn in time. The poor, once again, would be the same story, without eduction, it’s hard and almost impossible to get a good job. Also to completely seal you, this money was donated by millions of people. It is the people’s choice, the french government has nothing to do with this money.

In France, soon after this fire, we have passionate carpenters enthusiastic about the idea of rebuilding this roof structure in a way identical to the original one. That part was very old and dated from the origin (not the fallen spire that was a reconstruction of the 19 th century, the original one, of simpler aspect, had been removed because in bad condition few years before the revolution). It is the disappearance of that ancient frame of roof that has been the most shocking for French people. Some owners of oak forests were volunteers to give trunks of oaks. In some (State) oak forests in France trees are felled each year at about 200 years old, within the limit of the growth in volume of wood of younger trees in the same forest, so there is no loss of wood. These trunks of woods are popular (especially for barrels for great wines) and even now sold to China. Originally the trees ('quercus sessiliflora" in latin) had been planted, under the reign of Louis XIV, to in the future make of them ship masts. But times have changed. It would probably be more prudent to rebuild a metal roof. Actually It would not matter because the roof structure would not be seen, no more than formerly. Other cathedrals in France, of as great artistic value and maybe even more than Notre Dame of Paris, such as Chartres and Reims, already have roofs in metal structure following wars and fires. But it is true that Notre Dame de Paris cathedral, symbolically and historically because it is situated in the capital of the country, has a special value for French people.

yes but as the Olympics Games are going to take place in 2024 in Paris, they want it to be open for the event (because it's the 1rst touristic monument in Europe).

I don't know French, but I love this song about the mother of Jesus. I saw after some weeks people singing ' Je vous salue Marie ' while the cathedral was burning. I was happy to know that it would be restored. The French people wants her as she was. In my point of view the church of Christ is the people who believes in Christ. Maria is ' Eve Nouvelle ', a nova Eva que iria obedecer e ser fiel a Deus sempre. Tu restée fidele Mére a pied de la Croix Soutien notre esperance et Guarde notre foi. It's so beauriful , this song. ' Courronnée d'Étoiles ' Crowned by stars like in Apocalypse 12.

@Nathan Ardany Tanara I'm sure climate change and other issues are more important as much as Notre Dam is great. if climate change was to continue and get worse then there would be no point in it being rebuilt as the climate will ruin it and humans could cease to exist. I don't get how you prioritize stuff. Yes, I think it's fine to rebuild it, but I find it really disappointing how quickly people donated fro it reaching a billion meanwhile other issues don't get that much attention. Although I was one of the people who was really upset about it. But I have to say that it really disappoints me how quick the donations reached a billion whereas more important issues such as climate change, world poverty, stopping wars, helping the North Korean people who are suffering, helping the persecuted Muslims in China and much more do not get a reaction as powerful as this one! It's just really disappointing and disheartening.
