The Invisible Enemy (1x4)

Date de diffusion: Jan 24, 2024

In large Gothic churches, flying buttresses serve to counterbalance the weight that the vault and the framework exert on the walls, by creating an equivalent thrust. But since the loss of the roofs, they weigh with all their weight on the walls. To cancel this thrust, the architects decide to relieve the flying buttresses of their own weight by placing arches below them. At the end of the complex and long consolidation phase, an invisible enemy comes to interrupt the work on the site: lead dust.
