Since its construction, Notre Dame Cathedral has played a central
role in French cultural identity. In the wake of the tragic fire of
2019, questions of how to restore the fabric of this quintessential
French monument are once more at the forefront. This
all-too-prescient book, first published in French in 2013, takes a
central place in the conversation. The Gothic cathedral par
excellence, Notre Dame set the architectural bar in the competitive
years of the third quarter of the twelfth century and dazzled the
architects and aesthetes of the Enlightenment with its structural
ingenuity. In the nineteenth century, the cathedral became the
touchstone of a movement to restore medieval patrimony to its
rightful place at the cultural heart of France: it was transformed
into a colossal laboratory in which architects Jean-Baptiste Lassus
and Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc anatomized structures,
dismembered them, put them back, or built them anew-all the while
documenting their work with scientific precision. Taking as their
point of departure a three-dimensional laser scan of the cathedral
created in 2010, architectural historians Dany Sandron and the late
Andrew Tallon tell the story of the construction and reconstruction
of Notre Dame in visual terms. With over a billion points of data,
the scan supplies a highly accurate spatial map of the building,
which is anatomized and rebuilt virtually. Fourteen double-page
images represent the cathedral at specific points in time, while
the accompanying text sets out the history of the building,
addressing key topics such as the fundraising campaign, the
construction of the vaults, and the liturgical function of the
choir. Featuring 170 full-color illustrations and elegantly
translated by Andrew Tallon and Lindsay Cook, Notre Dame Cathedral
is an enlightening history of one of the world's most treasured
architectural achievements.
