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 show more 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. show less
I bought this book at a used book store. I haven't read it yet because it's very fragile.
