French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has a provocative idea of rebuilding the spire as it was caught in flames, with the intention of capturing the tragic historical moment. His design features a golden flame-like structure towering over an exact replica of the roof.
6. Kiss the Architect
Kiss the Architect studio from Cyprus would rebuild the spire in the form of a futuristic combination of balls and arches ascending around a staircase somewhat reminiscent of Industrial revolution mechanism designs.
7. Vizum Atelier
Vizum Atelier from Bratislava have my personal favorite design suggestion. Click on the arrow in the right side of the picture above see more photos. They propose to build a sleek tower that would have a beam of light shining directly upward at night. This design reflects the historical purpose of Gothic cathedrals like the Notre Dame, where ancient architects aimed for their majestic creations to reach the sky.
