Recenzii
'This book offers a unique and engaging perspective on the history of architecture and design in Toronto. Focusing on a series of domestic and semi-domestic spaces, including hotels, Myzelev weaves together stories of patronage, design, aspiration, tradition, and the staging and performance of modern lifestyles. Her book makes a vital contribution to the study of design culture in early twentieth-century Toronto, illuminating the interrelationships between architecture, art, craft, and design, and how patrons, architects, and designers sought to express themselves and their communities in response to the conditions of modernity.' Michael Windover, Carleton University, Canada
'Alla Myzelev's new book fills an important gap in our knowledge of North American architecture of the twentieth century. Focussing on the first and second great building booms of Toronto, it charts the complex rise of Toronto as Canada's cultural capitol and one of North America's greatest urban metropolises. Over seven well-paced chapters, Myzelev discusses its great homes, such as Sir Penry Pellatt's Casa Loma and the home of Group of Seven painter Lawren Harris, as well as its major commercial and cultural buildings, most notably the Royal York Hotel. Topically published during the city's current building boom, Myzelev's carefully researched account rightly positions Toronto among the great cities of the twentieth century. It will be required reading for all scholars of modern architecture.' Matthew Reeve, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada

Descriere
Toronto - the largest and one of the most multicultural cities in Canada - boasts an interesting, diverse architectural heritage. Adopting a multidisiciplinary approach to studies of residential spaces, this book tells a story of the significant changes in domestic life in the first 40 years of the twentieth century and uncovers previously unknown histories of design, craft and domesticity in Toronto. The book discusses several case studies, some of which (for example Guild of All Arts or Sherwood) have been virtually unstudied by historians of visual culture.
