In the Making: Notre Dame Truss Project

On Thursday, November 4, we explored how our 2021 Preservation Carpentry graduates joined a team in Washington D.C., recreating a full-scale truss of the damaged Notre Dame Cathedral using only medieval carpentry techniques. Joining us were Rick and Laura Brown of Handshouse Studio who created and led the project, and Henry Newhard, an alumni of our Preservation Carpentry program who was part of the crew in D.C.
They spent nearly two weeks on the idyllic Catholic University campus working with timber framers from all over the country, using medieval carpentry techniques to build a recreation of the truss from the ground up.
In the Making is a public programs series where we connect with a range of new voices, fields, and perspectives. Learn more and view a full list of conversations at www.nbss.edu/i....

Absolutely amazing, I think that historical record made the restoration possible. Not to mention all those people working so hard.👴🏻🇦🇺
