In 2012, architecture student Rémi Fromont meticulously re-created Notre Dame’s charpente, or roof structure, for class, foreshadowing his future role in its restoration.
The exceptional effort following the 2019 fire was enabled by the previous work of experts; notably, Andrew Tallon's laser scan created a billion-point digital document.
Pascal Prunet highlights the challenges of restoring Notre Dame by stating, 'The main difficulty is a problem of geometry more than a problem of technique,' emphasizing the complex irregularities.
After a $740 million restoration involving 2,000 professionals, Notre Dame is set to reopen, showcasing a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.
