Bostik, Inc. one of the world’s largest manufacturers of adhesives and sealants, graciously sponsored a major book-signing event.
On a rooftop deck in the chic Yorkville section of Toronto, a formidable and enthusiastic crowd, which included a major cross-section of the “who’s who” of Canadian architecture, joined to celebrate well-known architect/interior designer Dee Dee Eustace Taylor, Principal of Taylor Hannah Architect, Inc., who unveiled her new book, DEE DEE RULES: NYC LIFE, LOVE AND DESIGN. In it, the author shares 365 Design Rules as she humorously and without filters, journals her daily life over the course of a magical year living in New York City. With over 75 images of Dee Dee’s architecture / interior design projects, the book balances the hot topics of Life, Love and Design, while inspiring readers endlessly to “love designing your life.”

She is currently helping us better address a genre she knows so well: the North American Architectural & Design Community.”Dr. Ted Acworth, President/CEO of Artaic Innovative Mosaic, Bostik’s marketing partner, added, “This beautiful evening proved to not only be a great tribute to Dee Dee… the networking opportunities were amazing. A great deal of state-of-the-art architectural project work comes from our neighbors up north. A number of key Canadian architectural movers-and-shakers were in attendance. Overall, the event couldn’t have been better!”More information: Dee Dee Eustace Taylor and Taylor Hannah Architect, Inc..
