Taigh-cloiche/A House of Stone

A year after a major fire, archaeologists and scientists examine the battered stones of Notre-Dame in Paris.

Air an 15mh dhen Ghiblean, 2019, sgrios teine m貌r mullach Notre-Dame, a' leagail a saighead, a' briseadh a cr霉isle agus a' lagachadh a ballachan. 脌s d猫idh bliadhna de dh'obair daingneachaidh, chaidh d脿 cheud luchd-saidheans dhan chathair-eaglais airson rannsachadh a dh猫anamh air an togalach ainmeil seo far a bheil c霉isean-iongnaidh is taisbeanaidhean fhathast rin lorg.

Dh'obraich 脿rc-e貌laichean, eachdraichean agus ailtirean c貌mhla air a' phr貌iseact gun shamhail seo: fad mh矛osan, rinn iad sgr霉dadh air a' chr霉isle mheadhan-aoiseach a bh' air tuiteam. Fhad 's a bhathar a' cruinneachadh, a' se貌rsachadh 's a' rannsachadh na blocaichean, lorg iad comharran snaidhte sa chloich a bh' air am falach roimhe. Cuimhneachain a dh'fh脿g fir bho chionn c貌rr air ochd ceud bliadhna. An t猫id aca air na boghachan is cr霉islean mheadhan-aoiseach a tha deatamach dha seasmhachd an togalaich ath-thogail?

N矛 am film seo taisbeanadh air togail na cathair-eaglais iongantaich seo, a' d猫anamh luaidh air comas a h-ailtirean 's a luchd-togail. A' cleachdadh bathar-bog 3D 霉r aig a bheil comas gun shamhail, n矛 luchd-rannsachaidh oidhirp air fuasglaidhean fhaighinn air c霉isean-iongnaidh Notre-Dame. An t猫id aca air togalach a sheas troimh ochd linn chaochlaideach a ch脿radh?

On April 15, 2019, a huge fire consumed Notre-Dame鈥檚 roof, taking down its arrow, piercing its vaults and weakening the walls. After a year of consolidation work, 200 scientists entered the cathedral, aiming to study this world-renowned monument which holds a series of enigmas and revelations.

Archaeologists, historians and architects worked hand in hand on this unprecedented project: for months, they studied the cathedral's collapsed medieval arch. While collecting, organising and analysing every block, they discovered precious marks inscribed in the stone - until now hidden. The memory of gestures left by men more than 800 years ago. Will they be able to rebuild such medieval arches and vaults, key elements of the structure鈥檚 durability?

This film unveils the genesis of this tremendous cathedral, highlighting the mastery of its architects and builders. Thanks to new 3D software, researchers can work to solve Notre-Dame鈥檚 enigmas. Will they manage to restore a monument that survived through eight tumultuous centuries?
