ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The American adventure of Rafael Guastavino, the Spanish architect from New York. New York 1881: In one of the most popular neighborhoods, little Rafaelito and his father, Rafael, a renowned Valencian master builder who struggles to prove his talent in the big city, live poorly. Absolute ruin is lurking in his hands. But thanks to his indefatigable genius, that man will achieve fame and fortune by building the emblematic buildings that have given New York its profile. Javier Moro introduces us to the very unique Rafael Guastavino, a true construction genius who dazzled the great American magnates, conquered by the techniques he used in his works to prevent fires, the greatest evil of the megalopolises of the nineteenth century. He had a life marked by successes: his studio produced such "New York" constructions as Central Station , the great hall on Ellis Island, part of the subway, Carnegie Hall or The American Museum of Natural History.
