Well, reality of this, it is all about money. How much does it cost and how much is needed in return. Beyond that, just about anything is possible. So if you wanted to reconstruct architecture that was built in 1800 Paris, then it will cost alot.

I am all for renovated historical architecture because much of that craftsmanship is long gone. In the need to industrialize ourselves, we have lost touch with much of that.

But as an architecture student, my question to recreating the past would be why? We should preserve it and adapt it to our present day, but we shouldn't be recreating it. We seem to have a fascination with eras that we think we know so much about because of what we read and see in pictures, but really we know nothing of that life, how is looked, how it smelled, how it felt beyond what we are told.

So to answer your question, can we reconstruct the building you posted today, the answer is yes, but I sure hope you have the talent to crap money cause you will need it.
