ArcelorMittal has offered steel for the restoration of the Notre Dame in Paris after a fire gutted the gothic cathedral’s roof and destroyed its iconic spire, the steelmaker said on Thursday.
“The company … will offer up steel to repair and rebuild the monument,” ArcelorMittal said in a statement.The government has opened the reconstruction of Notre Dame to international architects, adding to a question many are asking as France grieves for its national symbol – whether the familiar outline at the heart of the capital should be restored as it was or given a modern twist.
