No, we don't want Notre Dame turned into another secular solar-powered eco-garden

in #notredame6 years ago

sing the destruction of one of the prime Christian sites in the world as a chance to push your pet environmental agendas is disrespectful to Notre Dame's heritage. Also, architects, please stop putting fake tiny parks everywhere.
Top French design bureau Vincent Callebaut Architectures has gone viral with its plans to replace the roof of the medieval cathedral with a glass shell filled with solar panels.

Why do you hate your own cultural history that much?

This is the question I always wanted to ask to millions of Europeans...

But, but, but, other cultures are way more advanced. They would make much greater wonders, but due to oppression, they were not able to develop :'(

Tallest Buildings, XIII - XX century

But we have no heritage at all and we should import it and start from scratch

I'm sure that diversity/inclusion/other types of bullshit sound very much appealing and cute and awwwwwww...

However, there's one big elephant in the room no one wants to acknowledge - by ditching your own cultural heritage, you're saying goodbye to all other values of Western civilization that you're enjoying and taking for granted.

Likewise, by importing other cultures and their heritage, you're importing their values as well, which I will not elaborate here in detail.

Good luck with that.

Such a monstrosity!

If you want a garden, go ahead, make a garden. A new garden.
Old buildings should stay as original as possible.

If that's a cave, it should stay a cave, no neon lights needed.
If that's a fortress, let it stay a fortress.

And if it's a church, it should stay like that.

Unless there are no more French people in France

I don't know. I see no issue with updating things. But then I dislike most cultural history anyways. A lot of it is about oppression of other less fortunate groups.

Also, greenery in urban spaces is a really, really good idea. Cuts down on the urban heat island effect, reduces air pollution, and even potentially grows food. Why is that bad? Why is solar power bad? This is a very confusing article.
