"Rafael Guastavino Moreno left his successful career as an architect in Barcelona, Spain, and immigrated to the US in 1881 with his eight-year-old son. American cities--densely packed and built largely of wood--were experiencing horrific fires, and Guastavino had a solution: The soaring interior spaces created by his tiled vaults and domes made buildings sturdier, fireproof, and beautiful. Told in the voice of the son, Rafael Guastavino Exp?sito, this is their story. Before they were done, the Guastavino Company designed a thousand gorgeous tiled vaults and domes across America, including the New York City Hall Subway Station, the Great Hall of Ellis Island, the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Terminal, the Nebraska State Capitol, and the Boston Public Library"--Provided by the publisher.
