Join us for the launch of The Architect of New York (Counterpoint, 2026) by Javier Moro, a compelling book that explores the life and legacy of Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, whose innovative tile vaulting system helped shape some of New York City’s most iconic spaces.
The evening will begin with welcome remarks, followed by an introduction to Guastavino’s architectural contributions by curator and professor Janet Parks, who will present a visual overview of his work and its lasting impact on the city. Author Javier Moro will then present his book and discuss the fascinating story behind Guastavino’s journey from Spain to New York and the enduring influence of his architectural vision. The program will conclude with a Q&A session and a reception.
