ISBN10: 1568987412, ISBN13: 9781568987415, [publisher: Princeton Architectural Press, New York] Hardcover Well-illustrated with photographs by Michael Freeman, much in color. 255 pages. 4to, yellow patterned boards, d.w. New York: Princeton Architectural Press, (2010). Fine in fine dust wrapper. An uncommon book. Since the time of ancient Rome, architects, engineers, and builders have struggled with the problem of building domed ceilings over large spaces. No one was more skilled at this than the Rafael Guastavino family, a father and son team of Spanish immigrants who oversaw the construction of thousands of spectacular thin-tile vaults across the United States between the 1880s and the 1950s. These versatile, strong, and fireproof vaults were built by Guastavino in more than two hundred major buildings in Manhattan, and in hundreds more across the country, including Grand Central Terminal, Carnegie Hall, the Biltmore Estate, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the Registry Hall at Ellis Island, and many major university buildings. [New York, NY, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2010]
