Whilst the few posts in this thread are rather sour, I’d like to mention that this project in is scale, combining modern and ancient methods is exciting to me.
France is wie lucky that they have a large guild of master carpenters that specialize in roof construction and the largest living history project in Guedelon, where they have made a medieval castle, with only ancient methods.
Without those craftsmen, this project wouldn’t be feasible.
I’m sorry, I don’t really find this uplifting. The way hundreds of millions are being devoted to fixing up some building in the middle of a rich country when there are hundreds of millions in the world without proper sanitation, water, or nutrition really shows where the priorities of people in power are.
It’s depressing.
Enough with the notre damme spam. The news were so annoying when it occurred. As if the cure for cancer was lost in the fire.
Literally, the amount of money spent on this one ass building could have transformed infrastructure in small countries or provinces in the world that actually need it.
