From urban greenhouses to a spire that doubles as a hive, perhaps not all of the projects are realistic but they're certainly food for thought.
Norman Foster, architect at British firm Foster + Partners, suggested the idea of a"light and airy" replacement spire made from glass and steel., the architect said he envisioned the new cathedral as a work of art focused on light, adding that it should also be contemporary, very spiritual, and should capture the confident spirit of the time.
The Times published a sketch of what the project might look like, drawing on the architects explanations.This project has already been presented to the mayor of Paris and the Ministry of Culture.The co-founder of the Paris-based event agency suggested the building could be lit during the Christmas period, between November 25 and January 15.
