In a significant development, the proposal for a modernist reconstruction of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris has been rejected. The advocates for the modernist approach were envisioning a glass spire and a partial redesign of the vaultings. However, the decision has been made to restore the cathedral to its original state, preserving its historical integrity. This decision underscores the importance of maintaining our architectural heritage and respecting the cultural significance of such landmarks. #NotreDame #CulturalHeritage #ArchitecturalConservation

This weekend, the world celebrates the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral, a stunning piece of Gothic architecture,  a symbol of humanity’s resilience, and a special place for me personally.  As the bells ring again in Paris, it’s a moment to think about what this means—not just for France, but for everyone who values history, culture, and perseverance. Notre Dame is more than just a building. As Hannah Arendt might put it, it’s a “space of appearance,” a place where human creativity and action shine through. It’s survived revolutions, wars, and even fire, proving the strength of collective effort to rebuild and protect what matters. In our work lives, this restoration is a great reminder. Whether we’re leading teams, innovating, or managing a brand, we’re often balancing respect for what came before with the drive to reinvent. Notre Dame’s story shows us how important it is to find meaning in the work we do and to build for the future. As we mark this milestone, let’s take a cue from the cathedral’s rebirth. Whether it’s tackling challenges or mentoring the next generation, Notre Dame teaches us to honor the past while having the courage to create something new. After all, the best work we do isn’t just for today—it’s for the people who come next.
