Shine and challenge: Notre-lady shines after reopening!

Notre-Dame, Paris, Frankreich - The reopening of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris last Saturday attracts attention worldwide. After the devastating fire in April 2019, which significantly damaged the iconic building, many would like to thank the tireless restoration work. Paris archbishop Laurent Ulrich celebrated the return of the cathedral for religious use by symbolically knocking the bishop's staff on the main portal, followed by a psalm singing of the emergency-lady, so reports orf.at .

A highlight of the reopening is the newly installed lighting in the vault of the main ship and the transept, which was developed by the Zumtobel daughter Thorn Lighting. The renowned light designer Patrick Rimoux from Dornbirn has perfectly brought about the challenges and possibilities of the historic space in this project. Despite the sensitive nature of the cathedral, where drilling in walls is not possible, 54 powerful and energy -saving projectors were installed. Zumtobel boss Alfred Felder describes this as one of the most important orders in recent years. However, the exact costs of light art remain a well -kept secret, since the order amount has been agreed in silence, as ZDF reported.

The combination of historical revival and the latest technology ensures that not only a religious retreat, but also becomes a place of impressive light art-a true masterpiece of architecture and design.
