Following the disastrous fire on April 15th, modern architects made plans for the new and updated Notre Dame Catholic Cathedral in Paris, France.
Proposed plans included a giant glass spire to signify secularism or an Islamic minaret to respect the growing Muslim population.
This came after President Emmanuel Macron’s prime minister announced there would be a competition in design to rebuild the infamous cathedral.

French Senators have stipulated that Notre-Dame cathedral must be restored exactly how it was before the devastating fire that tore through the Paris landmark.
On Monday evening, the French Senate approved the government’s Notre-Dame restoration bill – but added a clause that it must be restored to the state it was before the blaze, striking a blow to the government which had launched an international architecture competition to debate ideas on the restoration.
The subject of the rebuilding of the cathedral – which was left badly damaged after fire tore through the roof and destroyed the spire on April 15 – has become a fraught battleground between traditionalists who want an exact restoration and others who favour a more imaginative take.
