Concr3de proposes using 3D printing to rebuild Notre-Dame

Dutch company Concr3de has proposed rebuilding parts of Notre-Dame Cathedral from the ashes of the fire using 3D printing, and has already printed a replacement gargoyle.

Dutch company Concr3de has proposed rebuilding parts of Notre-Dame Cathedral from the ashes of the fire using 3D printing, and has already printed a replacement gargoyle.Concr3de, which was founded by architects Eric Geboers and Matteo Baldassari in 2016, used 3D scans to reproduce Le Stryge, a demon statue that sits on the roof of the gothic cathedral in Paris that was severely damaged in a fire last week.

A mixture of limestone and ash – similar to the materials found after the fire – was used as the material to replicate the iconic gargoyle, which was added to the cathedral’s roof during the 19th century restoration by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.

“We saw the spire collapse and thought we could propose a way to combine the old materials with new technology to help speed up the reconstruction and make a cathedral that is not simply a copy of the original but rather a cathedral that would show its layered history proudly,” Geboers told Dezeen.

Geboers believes using the materials left behind after the fire would address some philosophical problems posed by rebuilding Notre-Dame to the original design while using new materials.

“Isn’t a copy just a fake? Simply copying, pretending there never was a fire, would be a historical forgery,” he said.

    Instagram post 2190953118060077100_322522629 It's Art Basel week in Miami, and as a way to showcase architecture as art, today we are featuring one of our favorite moments @auberge_beach.  This striking sculptural staircase mimics the project's signature curved forms and incorporates elegant materials and subtle lighting to elevate an otherwise functional space.

    Instagram post 2182869738563131634_322522629 This whimsical design for an office building on Miami Beach remains one of our favorites! The very idea of an office building in SoBe is a rare occurrence, and we wanted to make this one of the most dynamic and free-flowing corporate spaces we would ever design.  The urban conditions and location influenced the sculpting of the massing, which is purposefully carved to create an internal courtyard that allows light and air to filter in through the center of the building.

Check our stories for some of the process drawings behind the design!

This urban center consists of an 80,000 SF cinema complex, 40,000 SF of luxury dining and retail, a 34-story apartment tower, and a museum paying tribune to the Native American Tequesta tribe and Miami's first hotel, The Royal Palm Hotel by Henry Flagler.  Inspired by the "big box" nature of cinemas, the facade treatment creates a playful composition of cubes that stack and layer above one another.  The aesthetic is further expressed in the balcony treatment of the tower above.

This year we're dressing up as our favorite decades, so it's only right that we post a #tbt to the iconic @wmiamihotel in Miami Beach. Completed in collaboration with the late New York architect Costas Knodylis, this unique design positions guest rooms on a 25-degree angle, providing guests with uninterrupted oceanfront views.

    Instagram post 2164735427066570887_322522629 For our Civic Center project near the Miami River, we began our design process by taking a microscopic look at the the marine ecosystem, and coral sediments in particular.  Our exploration into these microscopic worlds inspired us to use certain geometries not only as functional openings or wall patterns, but as a way to root the building and the neighborhood to the history of the city, and to enhance public awareness about the fragility of marine life.

    Instagram post 2155337867386327039_322522629 We're loving this rendering of the @epochsarasota.  Not only does it feature our @vuesarasotabay project in the background, but it captures the essence of the design intent - contemporary elegance that's all about those amazing gulf views!  Currently under construction, we can't wait to see this project come to life!

Inspired by the concentric shapes of the site's immediate context, the resulting L-shaped building allows for better views, more air and light, and pays reverence to its iconic neighbor - the Miami Tower.  Two-thirds of the way up the building, the L-shape cuts back, eventually disappearing altogether and giving way to a slender and elegant form.
