France has launched an international competition to redesign the spire destroyed in the Notre Dame blaze
Edouard Philippe, the country's prime minister, announced the contest on Thursday and called for "a new spire that is adapted to the techniques and the challenges of our era".
It comes after officials said Monday's inferno was 15 to 30 minutes away from being destroying the iconic cathedral.
That was the claim of Laurent Nunez, France's deputy interior minister. He praised firefighters who he said "risked their own lives" to salvage the 850-year-old landmark's structure and two belfries.
Emergency services will now spend the next 48 hours carrying out a security and safety assessment of the building.
French President Emmanuel Macron told the nation that Notre Dame would be rebuilt within a time frame of five years.
In a live, televised, presidential address to the nation, he vowed the cathedral would be even more beautiful than it was before.

- Big draws for tourism, focal point for local economies. - Central to the history of their locales. The process of designing, funding and building these projects are hugely central events to their surrounding communities. For example the builders that established some of the most historical buildings in Chicago are what caused the city's explosion of growth because those workers are the ones who populated the city, creating demand for new businesses, and so on. - Integral to understanding the development of architecture throughout history and what informs modern design, and how it will evolve. - Culturally significant. Many of the world's greatest buildings have influenced culture both locally and internationally. A movie like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" doesn't just use the setting, the story is rooted in the nature of the structure, its famous bells, its gargoyles and masonry, its connection to theocracy and politics. - Most importantly of all, buildings are a real connection to the past, and our way to connect to the future. You can actually go stand right next to the pyramids. It's part of what separates story books from history books. Without them, the past might as well be a myth. What was the nature of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? We'll never know the truth from fiction, nor ever experience its supposed spectacular beauty.
1. just a fraction of what disneyland pulls in a year.
2. locals that dont exist anymore as their being replaced. and that was 800 years ago.
3. what and how does understanding the evolution of architecture benefits humanity ?
4. and like i asked earlier, what culture ? whos past ? french ?

The point of traffic laws are for safety. If I can make a safe maneuver when no one is around sure; and if I get caught I’ll take the blame 100%. Going around a bus you 100% cannot see in front of, is seriously dangerous.
not just for safety, most of it is for income to the state.
which is why theres a load of laws that doesnt make senses.

What are the chances there would be an organism that would spread a species of weed so rampantly and feed with such generousity that makes them feel amazing and boosts its survivability?
Also what are the chances we would grow it in the only supposed place in the universe with intelligent life. Either some divine creator really likes it or we are incredibly retarded. Either way it should be thankful for us existing in their lives.

Hold on, do you people think that swapping a few PMS on a message board constitutes some kind of serious relationship? Thats fucking hilarious. I mean she sent those pix after about 4 or 5 messages at most. Altogether I sent her less than 20 messages and vice versa.
.
no. i think has to do with you betraying other peoples trust when you publicly posted something they sent you with the expectation that youd keep them forever private.
