Notre‑Dame’s façade illuminated at night

Notre‑Dame’s façade binds geometry to story. Daylight sculpts relief; night lighting paints icons.


🔷 Geometry

  • Squares & circles: A dialectic in portals and roses.
  • Proportions: Modular bays and axes.
  • Alignment: Precision set by builders’ sight.

💡 Night Program

  • Levels: Highlights portals and roses.
  • Color: Warm tones respect stone.
  • Control: Timed sequences.

Night façade

Night makes light the new stone.
