Alejandro Arredondo, an architect born in Mexico, is among the few who will ever get to work on the Notre Dame in Paris, France, since its construction nine centuries ago.
Nearly 6,000 miles from his native homeland, Arredondo is the only Latino working on the restoration of the 860-year-old gothic cathedral.
Three months into the job the unimaginable happened: The Notre Dame cathedral was engulfed in flames.
The Notre Dame continued to top the lists of most visited monuments in Europe even after it’s closure following the catastrophic fire back in 2019.
“I took that element to show that we are capable of doing great things,” said Arredondo.
