Abstract	"It may be that Paul Rudolph was one of several who submitted proposals for our church (built in 1964), but I have not seen such a proposal. It is possible that proposals are buried in a file I have not yet seen (I have been church archivist for less than a year). Pietro Belluschi was the architect chosen and his local architects were Hueber, Hares, and Glavin."

On New York City, 1959
“We need sequences of space which arouse one’s curiosity, give a sense of anticipation, which beckon and impel us to rush forward and find that releasing space which dominates, which climaxes and acts as a magnet and gives direction. This is well illustrated by the Fifth Avenue entrance to Rockefeller Plaza, where one strides forward in anticipation of seeing the sunken court and its activities. Most important of all we need those outer spaces which encourage social contact, again well illustrated by Rockefeller Plaza, the best outdoor living room in America.” Rudolph, Paul Marvin, 1918-1997. "The Changing Face of New York." American Institute of Architects. Journal 131 (April 1959): 39.
