Min Kyung Lee, Assistant Professor of Growth and Structure of Cities, on Renovations of Notre-Dame Cathedral
Forbes contributor Regina Cole turned to Min Kyung Lee, Assistant Professor of Growth and Structure of Cities, for an article about renovations to the fire-ravaged Notre-Dame Cathedral.
From the article:
"Architectural historian Min Kyung Lee, Assistant Professor of Growth and Structure of Cities at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, has studied the structure and the history of Notre-Dame. She points out that, while the restoration question seems simple, the building and the site are very complicated.
'It’s not just about restoring a medieval building,' she points out. 'The spire that fell is a product of the mid-19th century, when architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc worked on the building. In fact,' she adds, 'the building has been under constant renovation, with things removed, like gargoyles, or things added, like the steeple.'â€
