Summary:
French cultural historian DeJean presents an entertaining account of how home life was virtually reinvented in Paris from 1670 to 1765 as sofas, running water and flush toilets appeared in modern residences: the city became a giant workshop in which inventions in the arts and crafts and innovative technologies were tried out.

Summary:
French cultural historian DeJean presents an entertaining account of how home life was virtually reinvented in Paris from 1670 to 1765 as sofas, running water and flush toilets appeared in modern residences: the city became a giant workshop in which inventions in the arts and crafts and innovative technologies were tried out. Louis XIV's and Louis XV's royal mistresses displayed a bold vision for integrating architecture, interior decor and fashion, thus influencing modern comfort. In private mansions, French architects subdivided interior space to allow for varying degrees of privacy. As bathing became a pleasurable, commonplace activity, tubs became more comfortable and were redesigned as decorative objects in their own right. Men fell in love with the superexpensive flush toilet; the sofa—created by the architect Meissonnier—attained instant celebrity status; and interior decoration became a subset of the new architecture of private life as Parisians discovered that domestic interiors should be the expression of their personal taste.

Summary:
The projects included in this book are some of the very best examples that our post-war architects, designers and artists have given Toronto. This book is a celebration of their work, their vision and their energy. The two world wars had a tremendous impact on transforming Canada into a confident and robust industrial nation. With that came a building boom and an artistic explosion that gave young entrepreneurs, designers, artists and architects opportunities to dream big, bold and modern. Mean City celebrates this great boom in architecture and industrial design from 1945 to 1975. With the tremendous opportunities available because of a raging economy, architects and designers built and dreamed like never before. Young architects were given the opportunity to execute fantastic and futuristic buildings that defied convention. Mean City captures Toronto at a moment in a great architectural boom, along with the individuals who were inspired to create this citys great architectural heritage. The book is also a lament to those great modernist buildings that have already been lost, and those that may also meet the same fate in the future.
