Challenge 752: Rebuild Notre Dame
You will undoubtedly have seen the news this week about the horrendous fire that devastated the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. It's a place I've visited many times, and it's tragic to think of the damage done to it.

The French Prime Minister has announced an international architecture competition to rebuild the cathedral. Would you favour an exact reconstruction of the original medieval building? Or place something altogether more modern in the middle of this fine edifice? Show me your best thoughts.

Sorry to impose two church restorations on you in successive weeks.

High res of Notre Dame (a 3D model) with the roof removed is here.

For anyone who wants a quick fix there are a number of 3D replicas on the net, all of them with a roof.

I am very busy this week and I might not get a chance to work on this even for a still image.

In todays multi-ethnic, multi-faith society I thought that a multi-purpose building might be in order. Where people could go to worship whichever particular Deity they had chosen to believe in.

Re: Challenge 752: Rebuild Notre Dame
Very nicely done and perfectly perspective matched to my eye. Is one of these deities the good Lord Lego?

Did lightning cause the fire?

The third image is the 53 framer animation.

Sadly link not working here.

Regarding image two a friend of mine says he isn't sure who started the fire but he has a hunch.

David, when I came on site the animation was not working for me, then 15 secs later it came into life, so give it 10 to 20 secs to initiate (large file).

I've drawn inspiration for this challenge from the Byzantine Church in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia and Game of Thrones.

The dragons will now be protecting Notre Dame..the gargoyles still have a small role, just as a historical token.

And of course the entire structure is made from gold and turquoise crystal domes, hopefully ensuring a fire or disaster of this magnitude will never happen again

Up so quickly David. Very effective addition to the church. Is the roof done with Sketchup? That roller coaster blends in so well. Well done.

Well done Ben. Very new world. Lovely execution and blending. "Leg's go church." (Lego church)

Nice lightning scene Michael. Good colour tone. Not the place to "swing" Steve...lol. Michael, is that the 3D model of Notre Dame? Lovely!

Nicely presented video again Tooquilos.

Ah, Mariner. Was looking forward to your reconstruction. Always a pleasure...but I understand. I'm still playing with Epstein's torso from way back. Now that didn't sound good...lol...and Loyd? Still enjoying his Easter I hope. Happy Easter by the way, everybody. Hope you didn't get as flooded out as we did in Natal.
