Autodesk is supporting the rejuvenation of the area surrounding Notre-Dame de Paris.
The City of Paris has chosen a design from a team led by Brussels-based international architect Bureau Bas Smets to reimagine the area surrounding the cathedral. The project site includes the forecourt of the cathedral and its underground spaces and areas over the banks of the Seine River. Construction is due to begin in 2024 and complete in 2028.
The design competition, launched last year, is supported by Autodesk, which provided technological expertise throughout the competition. Autodesk’s BIM software was used to create a 3D model of the existing area surrounding the Notre-Dame cathedral that competing teams used to understand the constraints of the site.
Autodesk then worked with the four competing teams to help them create photorealistic visualisations of their design proposals. The digital documents associated with the competition, as well as the models produced, were also available to be used between the four teams, the City of Paris and Autodesk to collaborate in real-time on the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform.
