Notre Dame: Digital technology, a key element of our heritage

25 October 2021

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to visit the Paris cathedral. Aside from the joy of seeing this part of our heritage slowly come back to life, I was able to witness the contribution of digital to its reconstruction. The cutting-edge BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology offered by Autodesk illustrates how a powerful digital tool can efficiently support very ancient craftsmanship. This is a first of a kind initiative in the heritage sector. I am looking forward to seeing Notre Dame’s arrow raising again in the Parisian sky.
