#FallasValencia 🇪🇸🇺🇸 Rafael Guastavino Moreno (Valencia, Spain, March 1, 1842 – Asheville, North Carolina, February 1, 1908) was a Spanish building engineer and builder. Based on the Catalan vault he created the Guastavino tile, a "Tile Arch System" patented in the United States in 1885 used for constructing robust, self-supporting arches and architectural vaults using interlocking terracotta tiles and layers of mortar. Guastavino tile is found in some of New York's most prominent Beaux-Arts landmarks and in major buildings across the United States. It is used in a huge number of architecturally important and famous buildings with vaulted spaces. Guastavino was not the principal architect for most of the projects. #wikipedia => #Repost @gesmark ・・・ Felicidades #VALENCIA de #FALLAS TODAY #FiestaMayor #VisitSpain #ComunidadValenciana #Levante #Mediterraneo #Spain #MarcaEspana #Fitur2018 #Fitur #Gva #Generalitat #GeneralitatValenciana #Govern #Gobierno #Gesmark #RutaGmk #GeneralidadValenciana by @teyxavier 🐬🐬🐬Felicitats #Valencians #valenciaturisme (at Valencia)
