Handshouse Studio is creating educational workshops for their Notre Dame de Paris Truss Project in Washington, DC, this summer.<\/p>\n

With the support of Charpentiers sans Fronti\u00e8re\u2014fellow traditional carpenters in France\u2014Handshouse will reconstruct Truss #6, one of the oldest trusses from the roof above the choir. They will use the official drawings created by French lead architects, R\u00e9mi Fromont and C\u00e9dric Trentesaux, of the Notre Dame de Paris reconstruction process.<\/p>\n

Using materials and methods of the original medieval builders, workshop participants will join a team of skilled timber frame carpenters from around the U.S. to help in the full-scale reconstruction of Truss #6. This effort will be a gesture of global solidarity with fellow traditional crafts people around the world, honoring the importance of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

The Catholic University of America (CUA) will host the workshop to build the full-scale reconstruction of Truss #6 outside on their Washington, DC, campus for public viewing this summer. The truss was hand-raised on CUA\u2019s University Mall next to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception during the first week of August.<\/p>\n

Working with the Historic Preservation Training Center of the National Park Service, and with the support of Preservation Maryland, Handshouse was hand-raise Truss #6 again in a one-day event on the National Mall on August 5. In partnership with the National Building Museum, the full-scale truss will then be installed in the museum\u2019s historic Great Hall in Washington, DC, for an exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
