Oculus

The Oculus is a shopping mall at the World Trade Centre complex in Manhattan, New York, USA.

 

Opening in 2016 as the largest shopping complex in Manhattan, it contains 125 retail spaces.

 

It replaced the Mall at the World Trade Centre - the underground shopping mall under the original World Trade Centre, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001.

 

Positioned by Daniel Libeskind as part of the World Trade Centre masterplan and designed by Santiago Calatrava.

 

The structure's white metal-clad steel ribs reach up and out in a monumental move symbolic of a hand releasing a dove.
