Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral could be fitted with a new roof that harnesses solar energy to provide enough energy to power nearby buildings, if the design is accepted.
Made up of of diamond-shaped glass panels propped up with laminated wooden beams, Vincent Callebaut Architectures claim it would turn the iconic landmark into an energy-positive building.
The panels would store solar power in hydrogen fuel cells, the Paris based firm said. As more than enough energy would be stored to power the Cathedral, the excess could be channelled to nearby buildings.
I don't really care what happens here, I just think it's interesting and cool that the plan is to fit the joint out with solar panels integrated into the roofing materials.
And never mind that it looks like god's rocket being launched from a dragon-skin cross.
Weird as fuck, but really - I don't care.
