"Our proposal for the restoration of the Cathedral of Notre Dame is to use a single element that has the best, stained glass (vitrail). The greatest Gothic feature, using materials of the latest technology.
All the cover is made in stained glass, including the tower, with transparency to the inner side, through the opening of the vaults, leaving only the structures of flying buttresses.
In Gothic the stained glass signifies the connection of the earth to the sky, and inside the cathedral the natural illumination multiplies in colors through the colorful stained glass filter.
At night, the interior lighting becomes a grand backlit cover.
A single element used, stained glass. No new architectural features, no intervention elements (redesign), no ego, no artistic aspirations.
The material specified for this stained glass is made of a high-tech glass produced by a renowned and traditional French factory. The glasses have sun protection, without changing the desired aesthetic.
The windows offer greater thermal comfort inside the Cathedral, greater natural light, reduces external noise, makes the internal environment quieter, improves internal air conditioning, air quality and allows for numerous colors.
This glass offers protection against 99.6% of the UV rays and safety, since this type of composition that we specify, causes the shards to be retained in the film in case of breakage, avoiding accidents and the devastation of the gap.
This glass contains a self-cleaning layer that is integrated into the glass itself, so it has a high level of durability, not wearing down over time.
No constant cleaning, ensures clear vision, even on rainy days, because its surface does not accumulate dirt.
The glazing offers more sense of freedom, allowing the conversation with the external and internal environment, creating different lights and shadows at each hour of the day.
Just a religious purpose!
