  Jacques Carlu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Jacques Carlu, the late world-renowned French architect, was born in Bonnieres-sur-Seine, France on April 7, 1890.
Carlu was still completing his nonconformist four-year submission--reconstruction of the Capitoline Hill, Rome during the Etruscan period, which was brightly and vividly coloured in a manner reminiscent of Art Deco.
Carlu was appointed as the first director of the Ecole d’Art Americaine en France, Fontainebleau, which he headed until 1937.

 Trocadéro
Le Palais de Chaillot, oeuvre des architectes Azema, Carlu et Boileau, sera construit pour l'exposition internationale des arts et techniques de 1937.
Les pouvoirs publics renonceront au projet de reconstruction complète du palais du Trocadéro imaginé par Auguste Perret, en raison des travaux nécessaires pour combler les anciennes carrières et du coût que cela représentait.
L'architecte Jacques Carlu, assisté de Louis-Hyppolite Boileau et Léon Azéma, construiront alors les deux ailes latérales déployées en quart d'arc de cercle, en réutilisant l'ossature du palais du Trocadéro de 1878.

 Eaton's Ninth Floor (Montreal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For several decades she endeavoured to give her own interpretation of "class and style" to the major stores in the chain.
In 1931 she opened a large art deco restaurant on the top 9th floor of the Montreal Eaton store, designed by the architect Jacques Carlu.
It was a very close copy of the first class dining hall of her favourite transatlantic liner, the Ile de France.

In 1930, Lady Eaton had a vision to restore the seventh floor of the T. Eaton Company’s College Street location into a grand function space that would be modeled in art moderne style to the tune of some of the reception rooms of the greatest ocean liners that existed at the time.
It is their vision, hard work and creativity that helped to raise seven million dollars for the restoration of the seventh floor of College Street to make it Toronto’s premier event venue.
“We chose Carlu because it was unique, elegant and leant itself to the history of the space.” To create a premium space they decided that they would only use the top suppliers while renovating the seventh floor to its original art moderne style.

When Lady Eaton and Jacques Carlu designed the elegant Seventh Floor of Eaton's College Street department store in Toronto 75 years ago, they brought to it all the daring and exuberance you'd expect from a famed French architect and Canada's most famous business family.
They knew The Carlu's service had to be as consistently stunning as the landmark itself.
Within weeks of its splashy opening, The Carlu was the place to be and be seen.

 The Round Room @ The Carlu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Originally intended to be a 36 storey office tower and retail complex -- the largest such building in North America -- the 1930 Eaton's flagship store, built by Sir John Craig Eaton, fell well short of its intended grandeur due to the depressed economy.
Designed by famed French Architect, Jacques Carlu, the 7th floor is believed to be one of the world's best surviving examples of the Art Moderne Period.
The four "corners" include pockets (you are standing in one) for the VIP dinner tables, a band, and a bar.

A 1930s landmark entertainment venue by Art Moderne visionary Jacques Carlu has reopened in Toronto, Canada after a thorough restoration.

Now known as The Carlu, the seventh floor is finished with rich materials, such as Tyndall stone from quarries in Manitoba, limestone, granite, imported French Walnut and Birdseye Maple, and Monel, a costly, corrosion-resistant alloy of nickel and copper that was soon replaced in the design world by stainless steel.
