Green Architect Proposes Towering Glass Spire for Reconstruction of Notre-Dame
By Jessica Stewart on May 8, 2019
Renowned green architect Vincent Callebaut has published his concept for the reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Callebaut is proposing a glass roof—a popular choice among architects—with a timber frame that gently slopes up to form the spire. Titled Palingenesis, which means rebirth, Callebaut’s Notre-Dame concept aims to unite spirituality, art, and science.
노트르담 대성당의 재건, 유리 지붕 제안 녹색 건축가 빈센트 칼레바우트 유명한 녹색 건축가 빈센트 칼레바우트는 노트르담 대성당의 재건을 위한 그의 생각을 발표했다. 칼레바우트은는 첨탑을 형성하기 위해 부드럽게 기울어진 목재 프레임으로 건축가들 사이에서 인기 있는 유리 지붕을 제안하고 있다. 부활을 뜻하는 '팔링겐세시스'라는 제목의 칼레보트의 노트르담 개념은 영성, 예술, 과학을 하나로 묶는 것을 목표로 한다. 칼레바우트는 성당의 고딕 건축의 핵심 부분인 나베, 트란스프, 날으는 버팀목들을 세심하게 고려해서 하늘을 향해 쓸어가는 한 줄의 깨끗한 선으로 조립해 왔다. 그의 제안된 디자인에서 다락방의 원래 형태는 존중되지만, 새로운 생명이 주어진다. "어떻게 하면 우리 나라의 현대사를 함께 쓸 수 있을까? 또한 과학, 예술, 영성의 역사를 함께 쓸 수 있을까?"라고 칼레보트는 중얼거린다. "과거와 같은 과거를 재현하는 것만으로는 충분하지 않기 때문에; 우리는 인간을 부추기는 초월성에 대한 갈증을 세계에 전달하면서 바람직한 미래를 향해 우리 자신을 투사해야 한다."고 말하고 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

Callebaut has carefully considered the key parts of the cathedral’s Gothic architecture—nave, transepts, flying buttresses—and put them together in one clean line that sweeps toward the skies. In his proposed design, the original form of the attic is respected, but given new life. “How can we write the contemporary history of our country, but also that of science, art, and spirituality together?,” Callebaut muses. “For it is hardly enough to reproduce the past as it used to be; we must project ourselves towards a desirable future, conveying to the world the thirst for transcendence that propels human beings.”
In keeping with his sustainable principals, Callebaut has selected construction materials that leave a minimal carbon footprint. The frame is constructed with cross-laminated timber beams pre-stressed with carbon fiber slats, which also leave a level of transparency into the cathedral. Under Callebaut’s watch, Notre-Dame will also transform into a positive energy building thanks to the three-dimensional crystal glass faceted along the roof.
Formed into diamond shapes, the crystals have an organic active layer made of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. These elements absorb light and transform it into power that is stored in fuel cells to provide all the electricity and heating that the cathedral requires.
Similar to Studio NAB’s Notre-Dame greenhouse concept, greenery runs throughout the space. The heart of the Palingenesis project is the urban garden, which will not only be used for meditation and contemplation but also to produce 5.5 pounds of fruits and vegetables per square foot per year. The architects propose a farmers’ market to be held every week in front of Notre-Dame to redistribute the harvest.
“We advocate for an exemplary project in ecological engineering that feels true to its time and avoids a pastiche architecture that turns the city into an open-air museum,” Callebaut writes. “Circular economy, renewable energies, inclusive social innovation, urban agriculture, protection of biodiversity, without forgetting beauty and spiritual elevation: our reconstruction project feeds on such values to deliver a deep, conscious meaning.”
