Dutch company Concr3de which was founded by Architects Eric Geboers and Matteo Baldassari in 2016 has proposed rebuilding parts of Notre-Dame Cathedral which had fallen prey to a very unfortunate maintenance fire accident using 3D printing. The artists believe that the materials left behind after the fire must be used for rebuilding Notre-Dame to the original design.

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

Concr3de's proposal would allow for the original material of the damaged building to be used in its reconstruction. Even the limestone that was heavily damaged in the fire can be reused. In fact, it would be cheaper to print the lost pieces than to cut new stone. Concr3de has already printed a replacement gargoyle, Le Stryge, a demon statue that sits on the roof of the gothic cathedral in Paris that was severely damaged in the fire last week.
