Renewal Concept for Notre Dame Cathedral Paris
?When the cathedrals were white?
Location: Ile de la Cité, Paris, France

A concept for Notre Dame by Iranian Architect Habibeh Madjdabadi
Abstract:
Le Corbusier described Notre dame as a ?pure creation of spirit?. The new extension roof is white, recalling the title of a Le Corbusier book: ?When the cathedrals were white?. The colour also addresses the original aim of the cathedral builders when used marble for creating a white construction. The white colour restores the ancient imagination of cathedrals. The new extension is in line with the traditions of Gothic cathedrals: rising up the building towards the sky for reinforcing the sense of verticality. The roof rises gradually in the middle creating a curved skyline for the cathedral as Antoni Gaudi said: ?Straight line belongs to men, the curved one to God?.
