The Notre Dame cathedral once rebuilt has to be in a state that was the last known visually as it was decided by the French Senate ruling, yet this did not deter Shepherd studio from presenting their concept for the temporary reconstruction of the iconic landmark. Entitled ‘divine intervention’, the proposal envisions a huge inflatable balloon-like protective layer that would sit on top of the gothic monument. not intended as a permanent solution, the giant inflatable would take to the sky at night and only come down during the day.

Shepherd studio‘s daring vision contrasts heavily with its conservative context and goes against the decision to respect the former roof and spire. instead, the bubble-like balloon takes the original volume of the structure and transforms it into a fantastical inflatable, sitting on top of the prestigious cathedral.
Shepherd studio is a multi-service design practice, aiming to provide creative schemes that range from architectural, spatial, digital, and product based designs.
