The Spanish architects Rafael Guastavino Sr. and his son, Rafael Guastavino Jr., designed more than one thousand iconic spaces across New York City and the United States, such as the New York City Hall Subway Station and the Great Hall of Ellis Island. Written in the voice of the son, who was eight years old in 1881 when he immigrated to America with his father, this is their story.
Berta de Miguel is a trained architect specializing in
the restoration of historic structures who works as Vertical Access New York
City Branch Manager. This position has allowed her to work regularly in
Guastavino-designed spaces. Part of this interaction with Guastavino is
included in the documentary El Arquitecto de Nueva York, by Eva Vizcarra, which
was selected for the Gold Dolphin at the Cannes Festival and for Best Biography
recognition in the New York Festival World’s Best TV & Films Festival. Kent Diebolt is the Founding Partner of Vertical
Access LLC, an industrial rope access company dedicated to the inspection,
investigation, and documentation of monumental historic buildings. Former
president of the Association for Preservation Technology, he is an expert in
Guastavino
projects throughout the United States. Virginia Lorente is an architect based in Valencia,
Spain, who has written, illustrated, and published the children’s book on
architecture My Favorite Houses, which won the Serra d’Or prize in Spain in
2013.
