Will Gusakov, of Goosewing Timberworks in Vermont, will share his experience working in Normandy, France on this multi-faceted project to meticulously rebuild the nave roof frame of the Notre Dame Cathedral destroyed during its tragic 2019 fire. Through images and stories Will takes us into the rebuilding effort, both at the workshop in Normandy and on-site at the Cathedral in Paris. Fascinating photos highlight how he and his colleagues are using high tech building systems along with centuries-old building techniques to rebuild this historic landmark, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.
