That's kind of like saying "conservative" means no changes or "liberal" means as few rules as are practical. In context, it means something different.
May 31, 20232 yr the latest about the roof … Notre Dame’s fire-ravaged roof rebuilt using medieval techniques By JEFFREY SCHAEFFER SAINT-LAURENT-DE-LA-PLAINE, France (AP) — If time travel was possible, medieval carpenters would surely be amazed to see how woodworking techniques they pioneered in building Notre Dame Cathedral more than 800 years ago are being used again today to rebuild the world-famous monument’s fire-ravaged roof. Certainly the reverse is true for the modern-day carpenters using medieval-era skills. Working with hand axes to fashion hundreds of tons of oak beams for the framework of Notre Dame’s new roof has, for them, been like rewinding time. It’s given them a new appreciation of their predecessors’ handiwork that pushed the architectural envelope back in the 13th century. “It’s a little mind-bending sometimes,” says Peter Henrikson, one of the carpenters. He says there are times when he’s whacking mallet on chisel that he finds himself thinking about medieval counterparts who were cutting “basically the same joint 900 years ago.” more: https://apnews.com/article/france-notre-dame-cathedral-fire-architecture-forests-8fecd524aee58a8c667e98266f67e6c2

December 20, 20231 yr reopening next year — Notre-Dame Cathedral’s Reopening Is Set for 2024 as Its Spire Emerges From Rubble The interior restoration won’t be done in time for the Paris Olympics, but visitors will see the monument returning to its glory along the Seine. By Tara Patel October 6, 2023 One of the oldest and most iconic features of the Paris skyline is set to rise again. The spire of Notre-Dame de Paris, which went up in flames and dramatically collapsed during the massive fire of 2019, is in the midst of being rebuilt, a symbolic milestone in the nearly $900 million refurbishment of the Gothic cathedral that’s finally nearing the home stretch. Despite a series of major setbacks in the project that is unprecedented both in its scope and design, the reopening of the most visited edifice in Europe—which saw some 12 million people annually before it burned—is on track for Dec. 8, 2024, just missing President Emmanuel Macron’s five-year goal to open in time for the 2024 Summer Olympics in and around Paris. more: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-10-06/notre-dame-cathedral-will-reopen-in-2024-how-to-visit-what-you-can-see The Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral from the Archbishop’s Bridge in Paris, France, on Sept. 16.
