I would hope that the modernists win out over the traditionalists when it comes time to rebuild the roof.

Put in STEEL rafters this time!

The stone layer the old artisan builders put up in the vault actually helped save the building. They did it in case a lightning strike caused a roof fire. While some of the roof did collapse, much of it held as they thought it would. Very clever and thoughtful of the builders and planners in days of yore.
