turn it into a hotel while you're at it, why the hell not.
Only if it's a pool of holy water.
And a roller coaster, please.
Waterslide baptisms!
Thats actually a really good idea guys that way if the rest of the building catches fire again they have enough water to combat it, or else it'll put itself out when the roof collapses.
GeNiOuS!
Who are these guys, Sven?

It'd be more useful and beneficial for people than whatever lame ass restoration project they have proposed.
It's gonna be great for mass baptism rituals.
I love how the mockup doesn't include any sort of entrances or exits for the rooftop pool. It's like a hell-zone for unnappreciative customers in Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Funny haha but best plan I've seen so far is definitely this

Also in the event of total apocalypse, you can use it as a spaceship to flee earth
You'd have to be a swede to propose something so brazenly ridiculous. Fuckin swedes. God damn swedes.
This is rediculously taseful.
I just now noticed that anor londo looks like this.

Sorry, what did you say? Can't hear past that mumbling accent of yours.
ug ug bar bar bar you too FUGGEN SWEDE
I'm not a huge fan of the Catholic Church or anything, but as a historical building of no small significance, I kind of want to see it restored as it was.

Not against this headline in particular, more a general complaint because this attitude is everywhere here theses days, but god damn its really annoying how anyone going "hey lets maybe keep it the way it was because theres no good reason to change it" are painted as "traditionalists". It's seriously as dumb as that, enjoying pretty decorated architecture is "traditionalist" and everything has to be glass and steel.
Idk replacing gorgeous gothic patrimoine with the glass and metal international corporate style every single modern architect seems to be a fan of is just not great. Doesn't have to be the exact same, but there's a wide variety of reasons people wouldn't be into a boring glass roof.
The reason this bunch of stone and wood stacked together is important to people in the first place is because of the craftsmanship more than anything, protecting it through the ages is celebrating that craftmanship, lets maybe pay hommage to that. But nah youre a "traditionalist" if youre not into alienating modern architecture.
Skip to about 4 minutes in.

It's like every architect is trying to be Rian Johnson
Like nothing seems to matter besides subverting expectations
This is literally just all opinion. Is neo-gothic the only style that involves craftsmanship?
Nice strawman, I literally never said this.
I have an issue with how international/postmodern architecture styles are aggressively forced everywhere now, and how the discourse around the cathedral is toxic because any other proposition is discarded. And yeah I think decorated exteriors and architecture that involves craftsmanship in general looks nicer than concrete glass and steel.
Also we're talking about repairing a gothic building that literally represents the culture of architecture preservation in france, not some new building.
Yes let's turn a thousand year old church, one of the few early house of the Lord and make the roof into a pool for the public to desecrate because a pool makes everything better! Let's not forget the potential water hazard of pool water spilling out into the street or water damage to whatever wood supports still remain. A relic of the ages, turned into another example who modern architecture and infrastructure is the worst it's ever been and an unneeded commodity that could easily be another building.
Morons, at least the energy one looks to preserve Notre' Dame's image while having a second function.
What I love about this idea is that it follows the ideals of the Christian church and follows the modern day ideals, to be able to grow fruit and vegetables for the homeless and charitable causes and to be mostly electrically green and self-sufficient.
It's effectively a respectable evolution of the building, and I think that should be the way to go.
and then dip demons in it
that HAS to be fun
