Inhaltsangabe:
Rafael Guastavino Sr. was 39 when he left a successful career as an architect in Barcelona. American cities densely packed and built largely of wood were experiencing horrific fires, and Guastavino had the solution: The soaring interior spaces created by his tiled vaults and domes made buildings sturdier, fireproof, and beautiful. What he didn t have was fluent English. Unable to win design commissions, he transferred control of the company to his American-educated son, whose subsequent half-century of inspired design work resulted in major contributions to the built environment of America.
