Notre Dame rises again

with 50 billion data

points as the blueprint

for reconstruction

On April 15, 2019, Notre Dame de Paris,
the cathedral in the heart of the French
capital, lost its 800-year-old roof to
a fire. A digital memory of the roof’s
latticework “forest” lives on, however.
On YouTube, a video walks you through a
3D model of the structure, where clerics
walked long before Victor Hugo wrote
about lovelorn bell-ringer Quasimodo.
That’s thanks to Art Graphique et
Patrimoine (AGP), a French company >>
