Saw this on my feed yesterday - it’s a graphic that I researched for Scientific American back in 2017. In it, @unamandita.bsky.social did a masterful job communicating complexity to readers.

Seeing it take on new relevancy in our current times is disheartening, but I’m glad it’s been helpful.

Three page, fold-out of graphics showing a cut-away view of Notre Dame's spire, roof, and transept.

Graphic of Notre Dame de Paris showing the main areas of damage, the location of new advanced firefighting systems, and labels for the main areas of the cathedral. 2,000 statues and decorative features were restored or re-created, 43,000 square feet of lead were shaped to cover the roof, and 2,400 oak trees were felled to rebuild the spire and roof framework.

Researching Notre Dame de Paris for a graphic spread in the December 2024 issue of National Geographic was a delight for this History major. And, as always, it was a pleasure working with Fernando Baptista whose dedication to beauty AND accuracy is a marvel to behold.
