Architect plans to provide Paris energy through newly designed Notre Dame roof

(Web Desk) – Architect Vincent Callebaut persented an amazing design for the remodelling of the Notre Dame cathedral roof that was destroyed in the fire.

The UNESCO world heritage landmark was engulfed in fire last month.

According to Daily Mail, his futuristic design will not only change the 850-year-old cathedral roof into an extraordinary modern futuristic architectural marvel but the plan of a green house garden on the roof will provide 21 tonnes of fruits and vegetables yearly.

Vincent Callebaut, who is an award winning architect, submitted his unconventional design, while taking part in an international competition announced by the French government, to change the spire with diamond shaped glass panels which will provide energy not only to the cathedral itself but to Paris as well.

Vincent re-design will make the curved spire of a special crystal glass which will absorb the light using the solar energy to power the 850-year-old building.

Mr Callebaut, of Paris, said:  The idea is use this new architectural  graft  to turn Notre Dame into a positive energy building, designed to produce more energy than it consumes.

‘The rooster located and found in the rubble the day after the disaster will crown the spire again; in this position, it should remain the  spiritual lightning rod  and protector of the faithful.’
