Rafael Guastavino was born in 1842 in Valencia, Spain, and moved to Barcelona in his teens. In 1872, he graduated from the Escola Especial de Mestres d'Obres in Barcelona, where he mastered the vernacular building traditions of the region, including the thin-tile structural system. This engineering technique - which dates back at least to the 14th century - involved spanning broad spaces with arched ceilings or domes composed of several layers of thin tiles bound with mortar. In the early stages of his professional career, Guastavino perfected this system by sandwiching the tiles together with quick-drying Portland cement and plaster, which was stronger and more water-resistant than the lime mortar that had been traditionally used. Most importantly, Guastavino had an intuitive sense of the system's possibilities, which motivated him to create previously unimaginable vaults.
Raphael Guastavino was born in Valencia, Spain in 1842; he was a successful architect and builder famed for reviving Catalan Vaulting, an ancient method of tile and mortar arch construction. He renamed it "Cohesive Construction" and updated the process by incorporating modern fireproof materials and utilizing a strong, yet light, herringbone vaulting system.
