巴黎新篇：哥德再復興 Notre Dame Cathedral Rebuild International Competition
對全球民眾來說，巴黎聖母院是法國歷史文化的代表景點之一；而對法國人民來說，聖母院則是身分連結與集體記憶的象徵。烈火中的Notre Dame令人揪心難忘，而浩劫同時也帶來了重生，各界集思廣益為巴黎聖母院的再造各自表述，MAUD思瑞建築團隊也提出構想。
MAUD思瑞建築視此為轉變的契機，並將寫下巴黎聖母院歷史的新篇章，新舊融合不僅是手法，也是聖母院歷史的進程。以教堂閣樓作為說故事與彰顯特色的場域，採用輕量混凝土加上玻璃塑造屋頂強烈又現代的哥德個性，中世紀的迴廊重新揉捏新模樣，以白色水磨石為新裝換上摩登氛圍。MAUD思瑞建築特別保留部分焚燒過的結構作為展示用，這場大火既是故事中的一頁，也是旅程中暫留的一站，而空間則成為紀錄回憶的載體。
To the people of the world, Paris’s Notre-Dame is one of France’s most recognizable focal points of the country’s lengthy history and culture. Equally, to the people of France, the Notre-Dame epitomizes French identity and collective memory in its emblem. The emblazing fires of Notre Dame in April of 2019 made for unforgettable feelings of anxiety and worry. But the catastrophe also brought rebirth, with all walks of life pooling their wisdom for Pari’s Notre Dream in giving a new lease of life to the city.
MAUD Architecture herein aimed to grasp this opportunity for transformation in redesigning Notre Dames damaged roof, writing a new chapter in Paris’ history, mixing new and old techniques in the continuation of the church’s history. The church’s garret oneself has told the story and manifested the special characteristics of the place, adopting lightweight concrete and glass models for the roof to intensify a modern Gothic personality in the architecture. Notre Dame’s medieval cloister has a new look, with white French terrazzo stone installed to reinstate a modern ambience. MAUD Architecture especially preserved the burnt section of the roof structure in order to exhibit the tragic event. The fire is all but one page in the story of the Notre Dame, also a stop during this journey, and a space becoming a vehicle for recording memories.
