The Odd POPS at 33 Maiden Lane

7:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

About five days a week I walk on John Street past the Privately Owned Public Space (POPS) at <a href="http://apops.mas.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/106.png">33 Maiden Lane</a> in Lower Manhattan, never venturing inside. The "two-level open-air covered pedestrian space," as <a href="http://apops.mas.org/pops/106/">Jerold Kayden calls it</a>, is frankly an oddity, a fairly large space that is always dark and empty. Further, its dramatic barrel vault does not extend to John Street; instead a small rectangular portal gives a glimpse and access to both the pedestrian space and subway below.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817888692/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8559/8817888692_ba874436e1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />[All photographs by John Hill, unless noted otherwise.]<br /><br />But where else do the stairs and escalators beyond lead, besides the subway? And what's with the postmodern design? On Friday I decided to trek through the POPS and do a little research on it to finally get the story behind this oddity.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817889458/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8278/8817889458_aa882b5d94_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />Before heading into the space, lets walk around to the Maiden Lane side from the above views from John Street on the north. Below are two portals that provide access from Nassau Street on the west. The large column, rounded brick piers, and arched openings all fit into the theme of the building's design.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817889200/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8417/8817889200_d73453338b_c.jpg" width="573" /></a><br /><br />Those three elements can also be found on the Maiden Lane side (below), which faces the <a href="http://www.newyorkfed.org/aboutthefed/about_the_building.html">Federal Reserve Bank</a>. Actually, the 1924 building is the driving force for Philip Johnson and John Burgee's design of 33 Maiden Lane (aka <a href="http://www.emporis.com/building/2federalreserveplaza-newyorkcity-ny-usa">2 Federal Reserve Plaza</a>), completed 60 years later. That inspiration can be seen in the arches, barrel vaults, rounded corners, and brick color, as well as the <a href="http://untappedcities.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/33-Maiden-Lane_John-Shmerykowsky_Philip-Johnson.jpg">turrets that top the tower's corners and piers</a>. That the Federal Reserve leased space in 33 Maiden Lane and then <a href="http://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/aboutthefed/2012/an120228.html">purchased the building</a> outright last year cements the connection between the two structures.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817926376/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8120/8817926376_8733a26815_c.jpg" width="627" /></a><br /><br />The design for the POPS can be seen as an inexpensive version of the ideas Johnson put into practice during his postmodern phase, especially the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctorcasino/8140700642/">lobby of the AT&T (now Sony) Building</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gold_Leafed_Ceiling_of_190_S_LaSalle_Lobby.jpg">lobby of 190 South LaSalle</a> in Chicago, both completed around the same time as 33 Maiden Lane. Compared to other POPS in the city—be it covered pedestrian spaces, plazas, or some other type of space—the design is decent, if dated. But if the rhythm, texture, and scale of the space has merit, it disappears when amenities are considered; outside of connecting to the subway, making for a covered shortcut from Maiden to Nassau, and providing one newsstand, there's nothing going on here, hence it always being pretty empty.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807306461/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3740/8807306461_0aa156712a_z.jpg" width="572" /></a><br /><br />The end of the passageway near John Street (below) is the most boggling part of the design. Escalators from the south and steps from John Street on the north provide access to the Fulton Street Subway Station, but also to a checkerboard-tiled space flanked by doors on two sides.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807306119/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8273/8807306119_b212cee645_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />This space (below) looks like it serves a purpose, and it fact it did. As <a href="http://apops.mas.org/pops/106/">Jerold Kayden explains</a>,  "Years ago, this level also housed a satellite branch of uptown’s  Whitney Museum of American Art." The Downtown Branch was <a href="http://www.twbta.com/index.php?p=wc&flashid=2515">designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects</a> and was completed in 1987; a few years  later they exhibited their "Domestic Arrangements" installation <a href="http://archidose.blogspot.com/2008/11/tod-billie-musing-4.html">in a gallery of their own making</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807305827/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8539/8807305827_8d5f94040b_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />Entrance to the Whitney was through double doors (in the screenshot below, and just out of frame-right in the above photo) and down more steps to the gallery two levels below grade. The subterranean location was hardly ideal for the branch of an institution as respectable as the Whitney, but Williams and Tsien overcame this by adding a 20-foot-high pylon near the base of the escalator that was visible even from the vantage of the photo at the top of this post.<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIxMNLCE8PI0-PmD5V5Of4x3VT0gc0u6dSFzTcCxERdkadtq3eJT7k_DRqNlJ5G5SAd8EQSMuGIwZo7AfjiEj4y2m-cyiks670jo118naB9vUB-zXeglDdFL6yyCF7KOiPMRdjFDPFQOHU/" width="640" /><br />[Screenshot from <a href="http://sma.sciarc.edu/video/billie-tsien/">Billie Tsien lecture at SCI-Arc</a> (44:17), November 15, 1989]<br /><br />Even in the lo-fi photo of this space above, it's clear that for a short time (until the 1992 closing of the Whitney, at least) the POPS provided an amenity, a destination on the lower level. Now (photo below) this level is barren, even more so than the space above.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807305669/" title="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="POPS at 33 Maiden Lane" height="800" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5454/8807305669_f3e6af1972_c.jpg" width="587" /></a><br /><br />It's worth discussing a couple adjacent open spaces. If one ventures farther east on John Street, a very narrow—and equally boggling—space with astroturf at its rear can be glimpsed: <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807384671/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8269/8807384671_c729a1aa1e_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />The sign on the left in the above photo reads: "Open to the public dawn to dusk" and is accompanied by a tree logo that looks just like the <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/gif/priv/privlogo.gif">official POPS logo</a>. But this narrow space is not documented in Jerold Kayden's book or <a href="http://apops.mas.org/find-a-pops/">website</a>, nor on the <a href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/priv/mndist1.shtml">city's list of POPS</a>, so what is it?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817968158/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="800" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3805/8817968158_ce49b58834_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />The space belongs to the <a href="http://www.gcah.org/site/pp.aspx?c=ghKJI0PHIoE&b=3523681">John Street United Methodist Church</a> (left in photo above, right in photo below), the oldest Methodist congregation in North America (dating to 1766) and the third church on the site.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8807383759/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="800" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3723/8807383759_b0be8544a9_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />The church is hemmed in by much taller buildings on three sides. Looking skyward in the below photo, we can see the church, 33 Maiden Lane, and the back of <a href="http://www.emporis.com/building/homeinsuranceplaza-newyorkcity-ny-usa">59 Maiden Lane</a>. This fact makes the narrow open spaces on both the east and west sides of the church particularly uninviting; the blank walls facing the spaces don't help either.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817967846/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="800" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7382/8817967846_a04f88f294_c.jpg" width="600" /></a><br /><br />Below are a couple photos of the space on the east side, about the same scale as the one on the west, but in place of the astroturf are some steps leading to a statue and seating area. It's clear from the paving, wall painting, light stanchions, and plantings that this space is more important to the church than the other. Nevertheless it's only marginally more inviting than the space next to 33 Maiden Lane.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817967424/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="640" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3727/8817967424_429c6f2d6b_z.jpg" width="569" /></a><br /><br />The spaces described above are three of four semi-public spaces on the block bounded by John Street, Nassau Street, Maiden Lane, and William Street. The fourth is at <a href="http://apops.mas.org/pops/140/">59 Maiden Lane</a>, which Kayden describes in his POPS book as "originally a barren plaza" that was "voluntarily upgraded by its owner in the late 1980s...the result is a substantial improvement." So there is some hope for the other three spaces on the block, given the right attention. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archidose/8817967092/" title="Narrow Public Space by archidose, on Flickr"><img alt="Narrow Public Space" height="800" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2837/8817967092_188a81cb3d_c.jpg" width="600" /></a>

In a book published by the University of Leuven, “The Iris and the Crescent,” sociologist Felice Dassetto says that Muslims will comprise the majority of the population of Brussels by 2030. The title of the book refers to the yellow flower symbol of Brussels’ region and to the Islamic emblem: While the first is decaying, the second is growing.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">MUSLIMS NOW MAKE UP ONE-QUARTER OF THE POPULATION OF THE CAPITAL OF THE ENLIGHTENED EUROPE</span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">and they are asking to use the empty churches for Islamic prayers. Since 2008, the top seven baby boys’ names in Brussels were Mohammed, Adam, Rayan, Ayoub, Mehdi, Amine and Hamza. Mohammed is also the most popular name for baby boys in Belgium’s second-largest city, Antwerp, where an estimated 40% of elementary school children are Muslim. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Antwerp is also home to BELGIUM’S first Islamic Sharia law court.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Yet BELGIUM is not an isolate case in fact there are warning signs looming on the horizon that Europe risks being “overrun” by Islam. According to a recent report of the US Pew Center, Islam is already “the fastest-growing religion in EUROPE,” where the number of Muslims has tripled over the past 30 years. One third of all EUROPEAN children will be born to Muslim families by 2025. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">ISLAM IS THE MOST PRACTICED RELIGION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM</span></b></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thus the UK government anti ISRAEL stance comes as no surprise, as well as the tremendous support for arming the SYRIAN rebels.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In London, more Muslims attend mosques on Friday than do Christians church on Sunday. The Oude Kerk, the oldest church in the city of Amsterdam, where the kings of HOLLAND were crowned, is now a museum. The only “church” in the largest DUTCH city that is crowded is the church of Scientology, a six-story building in the thick of the city center. Only 7% of DUTCH Catholics now go to Sunday Mass and 16% of children are baptized. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">EURABIA</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In AUSTRIA, which was 90% Catholic in the 20th Century, Islam will be the majority religion among AUSTRIANS aged under 15 by 2050. The FRENCH case also shows that the often exaggerated “EURABIA” threat is more a quality phenomenon of religious attendance than of demographic takeover. In FRANCE, there are now more Islamic mosques being build - and more frequently so - than Catholic churches, and there are more practicing Muslims than practicing Catholics in the country. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2hGw-MTZNMDplXNQHk0dPI4JNO03-ko34kn16-mzqwWGrN4l8_17L3-3mn_8RCs3awK8bwgj4m_quiXMkR97qH3zbAgi_fehjvu9amNZFhOIEmBwz_1SvrcF3KuILwSyhGaFb4U4F3P1/s1600/20110720_EuropeIslam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2hGw-MTZNMDplXNQHk0dPI4JNO03-ko34kn16-mzqwWGrN4l8_17L3-3mn_8RCs3awK8bwgj4m_quiXMkR97qH3zbAgi_fehjvu9amNZFhOIEmBwz_1SvrcF3KuILwSyhGaFb4U4F3P1/s320/20110720_EuropeIslam.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="mso-cellspacing: 0in; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 300px;"> <tbody><tr style="mso-yfti-firstrow: yes; mso-yfti-irow: 0; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes;">  <td style="padding: 0in 0in 0in 0in;"><br /></td> </tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Overall, the total number of mosques in FRANCE has already doubled to more than 2,000 in the last 10 years. The best known FRENCH Islamic leader, Dalil Boubakeur, Rector of the Great Mosque of Paris, recently suggested that the total number of mosques should double yet again, to 4,000, to meet the growing demand. </span> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Meanwhile, the Catholic Church in FRANCE had only 20 new churches built in the last 10 years, and formally closed more than 60 churches, many of which became mosques, according to research conducted by the FRENCH Catholic daily La Croix. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Princeton University’s Bernard Lewis once told the GERMAN daily Die Welt that “EUROPE will be Islamic by the end of the century.” At the time, Brussels’ political and cultural elites expressed outrage at the alarmist prediction. Yet if the current trends persist, Mr. Lewis may yet be proven right. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Article written by Giulio Meotti </span></div>
