I was thinking of Sagrada Familia. They've been building that from scratch over the last 140 years or so. Obviously it's not going to be an overnight repair job, but it could be done in time. A very long time!
I agree, the restoration shouldn’t necessarily be carried out like for like. The exterior that survives could be incorporated into a more modern building/interior bringing another chapter in the life of this beautiful building.
People often forget these most of these ancient structures are not “as built” having had many disasters, rebuilding and additions over the centuries.
Still feel uncomfortable about them charging twenty quid entry fee unless you're a 'worshipper' (whatever that means).Such an amazing pic. I read that Churchill ordered extra special fire watch/protection on it because it was such a symbol of the country.

You are absolutely right. We see historical buildings as having been as we see them forever. But in reality, they’ve evolved over time.
What’s to say a modern twist won’t be for the better.
I for one won't be cheering them on risking their lives if they go into that burning building. I'd rather they all get home to their families safe and sound.
I've been bashing Coventry enough this week but their flatpack Cathedral left me cold. This is absolutely amazing.I work in the construction industry and pretty much anything can be replicated if you throw enough money at it. The methods will be completely different to the way they built it originally obviously. The art work internally and the fixtures and fittings really are irreplaceable though. I would think they would have modern digital surveys of the place as well which could be invaluable in trying to replicate it.
For a better example than the Sagrada Familia, look at the way the Germans rebuilt the historical centre of Dresden. What they have done there is truly remarkable but even those impressive building were like a McDonalds drive through compared to Notre Dame.

Went there a few years back and its very impressive, and Dresden is a great city.
Good investment tactic to buy a oak plantation in France right now.
All sentiment to one side.

Water canon dowsing the structure to the left in that image. Hopefully soaked the timbers sufficiently to prevent spread.

Aye, but when the wood's so old as soon as it's soaked it'll be fucked and lose its strength. They'll need to get temporary replacement supports in there ASAP or it will still come down.

Fire.How did it happen?
You are absolutely right. An assessment of the mortar joints will state if they are good or need replacing. If this is the case, it’s potentially number each one with a unique identifier and rebuild. You are talking a decade to rebuild.
