temple
Atelier George x Fabien Barrero+Carsenat



Temple was born from the fire consuming Notre Dame.
Its three bronze arches form a crown of columns, emerging from the Earth.
A ruin that has traversed the ages. A structure polished by time.
The archaeology of the future, as a new narrative, to ward off the destroyed History.
A receptacle then nests at the heart. Reconstruction begins.
A smoked glass gathers the pilasters, connects the flying buttresses.
From the ash, a vitreous matrix is created. In place of the void comes the container.
A crystalline dome completes the construction. Protects the sacred. And idealizes the form.
Dome and rosette merge. Transparency lets light penetrate the edifice.
The moiré reliefs. Radiate in a golden oculus.
Once again, the temple will be re-covered. Always, it will open to the sky.
