It is interesting to see evidence that is quite subliminal and, I am sure, unintentional, as you read about the "Secessionists". Most, if not all, of the Secessionists are Hyper-Heterosexual and anti-Male. I have noticed that the Traditionalists (or Classicists) are more Open-Minded and Pro-Homosensual, pro-Male and unafraid of the Human Body, the Male body, in particular. Curves are all women, the lines of Classicism are all Male!!! Reed is very harsh in criticizing Modern architecture and Art, leaving no room for a 'few' of the great Modernist masterpieces, but overall I agree with the assessment that 'most' of modern architecture is ugly.

First published in 1959, The Golden City is a seminal, critical document that developed one of the earliest and most compelling arguments against the then-dominant hegemony of modernism by reawakening interest in the value of our country's built patrimony, particularly with respect to its notable classical architecture, classical sculpture, and ornament in the built environment. The book's argument remains valuable today. The Golden City can be credited with building the constituency for the preservation movement in the United States in general, and in New York City in particular. That constituency coalesced around Reed's powerful polemic, eventually contributing to the formulation in 1965 of New York City's groundbreaking Landmark Law, one of the most important milestones in the preservation movement in the United States.
