I don't know if the structure supporting the rose window contributed to its collapse but I can see how that might have happened. I suspect it would have done so anyway. Your questions are pretty much spot on. A building that survives one large quake might collapse in the next (as happened wit

Yeah, I'd like to see it restored as well, but a couple of things occur to me. How far gone is it? I read that the structure that was supposed to stabilize the rose window contributed to its destruction in subsequent recent earthquakes. And what about future earthquakes? Will a restored structur

It'd be nice to preserve it but hideously expensive and very difficult to do safely. And that's before you consider trying to bring it up to modern earthquake standards. What's left of the building is badly cracked and considered unstable which is why the perimeter inside the fence is so wide.
