Greatoneshere Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It's not a zero sum game but the amount of play the Notre Dame has been getting vs. other, more important issues is obscene. Not surprising, but disappointing nonetheless. The media fails us again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I've been out of town, admittedly partying, and I just saw this news this morning somehow. Being a huge fan of architecture and having seen it with my own eyes twice, that's seriously brutal. Edit: Reading this thread further, it looks like it wasn't nearly as bad as first expected. And gladly nobody actually cares about utter nonsense like restoration donations going to completely unrelated causes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should also acknowledge that "fighting poverty" isn't really a choice in itself. It's more of a goal, and how to achieve the goal isn't really clear. I think a more comparable counter point is contrasting our disaster relief afforded to Puerto Rico versus the response to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 So, I have seen people complain about these rich people giving money to restore the church instead of doing something like donating it to Flint, MI. Ignoring the fact that the rich people are mostly french in this instance, could they really say, "here is few hundred million, now fix flint," and then that money is used to fix their water issue? Like, would throwing money at it just really work, or is there more than just the issue of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would work, the whole reason lead pipes are still in use is the cost to replace them is high, especially in a country where a lot of people can't afford a few hundred dollar surprise bill. Estimates to replace the pipes in Flint are also far lower than the hundreds of millions raised for notre dame. It's not like a technical issue that needs to be resolved or anything.

Flint is the story of corporate interest and government collusion - some French asshole isn't going to fix our stupidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 They're taking proposals for how the repairs should be done, the goal isn't to just recreate it but to modern looks as well. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/05/13/panoramic-views-glass-roof-how-architects-are-reimagining-notre-dame/?fbclid=IwAR13ZQqHwBGRvRDma7Qr3EWcmavTMXCkk-OktXfUfo6AAEYVepDY8Dix7SU&utm_term=.91cbdf1a9969 This one is interesting because it proposes turning the roof into a public space with trees as well as the glass roof.
