  1. My high school cafeteria in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts had a vaulted ceiling using the herringbone tile system patented in 1885 by Raphael #Guastavino. The high school was built in 1806, financed by industrialist Henry H. Rogers, Rockefeller's right hand man at Standard Oil, and a native of the town. The building was designed by Watertown, MA, architect Charles Brigham. The building is still our high school today, now with a modern wing added in 2000.

  2. Hi Mastodon, I am looking for an #architect and #engineer to help me build a small home under a #guastavino #catalan barrel vault. I want it somewhere in or near a bushfire zone in the upper Blue Mountains.

    I've asked before, but now I'm trying with added hashtags and URLs.

    I'm looking at the core of the skin being aerated autoclaved concrete (#Hebel)
    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocl, with thin brick tiles (brick #slips) inside and glazed tiles outside.

    Does anyone know architects and engineers in Australia willing to take risks with odd materials and an odd client?
