WTF FRANCE

I think if they are going to re-build it, then the result should reflect our current times. So in 500 years, people can look at the notre-dame and see "ah, this is truly a work from 2019".
So i think the result should reflect that.

If people in 1303 could they would have build it in stainless steel and glass

It might get hot in there if they do glass

Yeah instead of gargoyles or whatever they put in medieval times they can do all the different Marvel and star wars characters etc. Most French people can't tell you who "notre dame" is supposed to be but they sure as hell know Iron Man and Kylo Ren. DO IT

They should make it like this

if people in 1303 could and would have known they would have sent an enormous bomb in a time capsule

>STEEL
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP I HATE STEEL

reminds me of that guy who swore to built a cathedral by himself if god cured his illness

he is an old man now who has been at it for 40+ years or something
he is like 2% done

does anybody else know who i am talking about?

>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH MUH SKYLINE!!! STOP BUILDING NEW STUFF THATS TALLER AND LARGER THAN ALL THE OTHER STUFF!!! WE SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO THE HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS MADE TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!!

That building led to a ban of any more tall buildings being built in Paris propper meanwhile in London

Meanwhile London looks like this now

>implying this doesn't look good

I bet you don't like the Tulip.

>Imagine how many nearby buildings a crystal spire would burn down
lmao Our Lady's revenge

I bet you like the walkie-talkie

London has always been a mismash, at least they maintain sightlines. That also looks kino

Totally what I would expect modern architects to build from. It's all their trained for, all they have the budget for.
I doubt there's anyone that's left who can build in traditional styles.

this is quite amazing actually

It sounds better imo, especially lighting the place up. Went there once, place was dark as hell

>steel
>glass roof
Always look bad.

I thought most of Europes old buildings were re-constructed after WWI+WWII anyway since they were bombed etc?

they should blow it up and build Lenin statue on top of what's left

I don't even mind skyscrapers but most of these are ugly as fuck

because its ugly and not french

our government isnt french and doesn't represent the nation

That's too old and it's been done before.
They should just build a gold plated Trump statue about the size of that Jesus in Rio; something that really reflects the modern era.

It looks worse in the inside
still better than gaudishit

Darkness isn’t inherently bad. It’s a place of prayer, not a museum, despite what the travel agencies say.

Whatever, let them have their wank. Everything will go back to dust.

They should blow it up but then build an even bigger Notre Dame in its place

Architectural techniques in later Gothic churches allowed for larger windows and more light didn't they? What era is the Notre Dame from?

Kitsch.

I've never been to Notre Dame or to France but if its so dark they can also, you know, use a LAMP its 2019.

Blow it up, then build a big Lenin statue holding up a big golden Trump statue holding up a big Notre Dame made of glass. (Highly symbolic)

People can take an elevator up from Lenin's foot all the way to Notre Dame and look down on France and think about what a waste of a country it is.

>*throws a rock at u*
heh, nothin personol

I don't think that a glass roof is a good idea. The inside should stay dark so the light through the stained glasses is more noticeable.

You call that ugly?
You're pathetic.

What if the entire roof is made of stained glass

yea nothing can be taller than the Washington Monument out of respect of George Washington or some hyper wet fanny shit like that
t. received my primary education in the USA

You want this to be burnt down?

Attached: Paris.jpg (2122x1415, 916K)

would be cool but would you be able to appreciate the work

I recieved my primary education in USA and I didnt know that. They should just make the Washington monument super tall then they can build as much as they want to. (watch it sink into the swamp lmao)

I'm not much of a history buff myself, but I think Paris wasn't bombed.

>Glass roof to illuminate the space below

What space? Does he want to remove the fucking sexpartite vault?

>buncha old looking building
Yes, then they can finally have a city that looks like it came from the 21st century and not the 15th or whatever the hell that suppose to be,

(jk I wish we had old fashioned style building sometime too, they look cool imo)
(but also it would be cool if France just burned down)

I bet, this is fucking modernist incel, there is no more who can even think about to do this kind of shit.

Rebulding it like the 14th century wouldn't make sense since it's not the 14th century anymore

this is a good chance to construct a great wonder of tourism that will usher a new age of construction artisanry but traditional tards view it simply as muh history.
Your history burnt down to the ground, deal with it. It happens with old buildings. No amount of restoration will make the old chapel come back.
This is a golden opportunity to create and example that will bring us closer to the cities of tomorrow

Ojibwe Nation represent

No one believes in God anymore

i hate all of you and hope you die before me.

Look here nigger, you've just an fucking brainlet black who can't even feel the fucking aesthetic things.

>Its cheaper too.
this is a catholic church not a synagogue you miserly kike

Pretty sure all the Muslim in France do. Not sure how they feel about Blessed Virgin Mary but I heard its vaguely positive.

Secular Frenchoids can have a big capeshit monument (Capeshit = Modern Religion), and give Notre Dame to the Muslims and whatever token Catholic larper live in France. Im telling you this is it

>muh aesthetic

Seem that I'm not the only brainlet here
Did you know that the spire that fell off was wrom the 18th, and was different than the original, then you get mongs acting as if the cathedral never had any modification since the 14th century

That's ugly

do it in 1920s art deco

Wtf

These are people calling American Christians cultureless

>glass
>metal
>cathedral
Fuck off, frog-nigger.

Why can't Britbongs be like Thailand and build new shit a little away from the old stuff?

That's in france

based YEAH TEAR EM DOWN

Looks neat. It has a very pristine look to it. But no, the Gothic church should be repaired in its original design.

Redpilled Buddhist

But it fit with the rest of the cathedral you baguette eating mong.

Are you people so cucked that you don't see the difference between repairing / improving a structure in a way that is in line with its historical design
>vs
allowing some oh-so-progressive architect to "leave his mark" by building a modern art piece that will age like your cheese.

lmao I like how France tear down old church but then when it catches on fire they make a big show of how sad they are. Makes zero sense. France never misses an opportunity to attention whore.

Lost technologies.

>competition

they should already have the plans for the old design, why are they holding a fucking competition

You could have said the same about the 18th spire on a 14th building
You think it fit because you don't know how the old cathedral was

Do you compare a several centuries old cathedral with some random 18th small town church you fatty?
Americans will never cease to amaze with their stupidity

lol pretty sure thats a bible paraphrase (you are dust and to dust you will return).

buddhism has reincarnation and stuff

Protestants do thats why all their churches are ass ugly.
