Notre-Dame: building a digital twin | CNRS in English

Version française ici : On April 15th, 2019, its roof and spire burned down. Charred beams are all that is left of its majestic medieval wooden roof. In addition to the massive restoration effort underway, an ambitious scientific project has also begun. More than 50 teams of scientists are collaborating in a vast collective effort to study the gothic cathedral and the damage it has endured - to its woodwork, stone framework and stained glass among others. Today an engineer from the project’s digital team has come to Notre-Dame. He will be working with rope access technicians - who can maneuver in particularly difficult sectors of the work site.
