Intro

This lecture was given at New York University on 16 November 2019 at a symposium gathering scholars and architects in light of the recent catastrophe at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to consider the purpose of sacred architecture, the nature of beauty and the issues with early proposals for rebuilding Notre Dame that are rooted in post-modern ideas about art and architecture.

Featuring Prof. Philip Bess (University of Notre Dame), Dr. Margaret Hughes (Thomas Aquinas College), and Dr. Steven Schloeder (Liturgical Environs).
