Over the last 15 century , the Abbey has been carry off by periods of fall rock . A significant strike in 1945 took down the Abbey ’s chief tower . Because of its historical grandness , the column and other portion of the building have been rebuild over and over .
To protect the ancient construction once and for all , Savioz Fabrizzi architectsbuilt a cantilevered , translucent cap that reach out out over the abbey . The cap is drill into the next drop and can hold up to 170 tons of rock music . The structure lets sunlight filter down upon the grounds below and maintains the Abbey ’s raw , verdant environs .
