Fulton Center, Sky Reflector - New York, USA
Fulton Center is a subway and retail complex centered at the intersection of Fulton Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, New York City, USA.
Sky Reflector-Net, which was commissioned by the MTA Arts & Design (the art program of the MTA), was installed in 2014 in the Fulton Center transit hub.
This is the first intentional skylight in the New York City Subway system since the 1945 closure of the original City Hall station.

Fulton Center, Sky Reflector - New York, USA
Fulton Center is a subway and retail complex centered at the intersection of Fulton Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, New York City.
The title refers to the steps leading up from this interior of The Oculus. to the exit doors to travel to The Fulton Centre.
Thanks to Menny Borovski for correcting me on the confusing image title.
Das Fulton Center ist das pulsierende Herz des New Yorker U-Bahn-Netzes in Lower Manhattan. Hier kreuzen sich 9 U-Bahn-Linien, und täglich strömen tausende Pendler durch die weitläufigen Gänge dieses modernen Verkehrsknotenpunkts. Doch neben seiner Funktionalität beeindruckt das Gebäude vor allem mit seinem markanten Dach. Die große Lichtöffnung, umgeben von einem filigranen Netz aus Metallstreben, lenkt Tageslicht bis in die tiefen Ebenen der U-Bahn-Station. Dieser architektonische Kunstgriff schafft nicht nur eine helle, einladende Atmosphäre, sondern auch eine fast meditative Verbindung zwischen Untergrund und Himmel. Wer hier umsteigt, erlebt nicht nur den Rhythmus der Stadt, sondern auch ein faszinierendes Zusammenspiel von Geometrie, Licht und Bewegung. Während die Züge im Takt der Metropole ein- und ausfahren, bleibt der Blick nach oben ein Moment der Ruhe im Großstadtstrom. Ein Bahnhof als Kunstwerk.

The Fulton Center is the beating heart of New York's subway network in Lower Manhattan. Nine subway lines intersect here, and thousands of commuters stream through the extensive corridors of this modern transportation hub every day. However, in addition to its functionality, the building impresses above all with its striking roof. The large light opening, surrounded by a filigree network of metal struts, directs daylight into the deep levels of the subway station. This architectural trick not only creates a bright, inviting atmosphere, but also an almost meditative connection between the underground and the sky. Anyone changing trains here not only experiences the rhythm of the city, but also a fascinating interplay of geometry, light and movement. While the trains arrive and depart to the rhythm of the metropolis, the view upwards remains a moment of tranquillity in the urban stream. A train station as a work of art.

An art/engineering/architectural collaboration entitled “Sky Reflector-Net.” A collaboration with James Carpenter Design Associates, Grimshaw Architects, and Arup. Is the largest ever commissioned by MTA’s Arts for Transit program.
It's been a while since I was inside Fulton Center. There are actually some shops inside now and I see signs for a future Shake Shack on the upper level.

The Oculus which is a 53 foot diameter glass dome directly above the four-level aluminum skinned main rotunda that allows sunlight to be ‘funneled’ down to the basement level of the new Fulton Center transportation hub that opened on November 10, 2014 in downtown Manhattan just south of City Hall. Contained within conical shape of the main atrium is what can be seen here surrounding the glass Oculus, the “Sky Reflector-Net” which is actually and integrated artwork by James Carpenter Design Associates (JCDA), Grimshaw Architects and Arup which is made up of 112 tensioned cables, 224 high-strength rods and 10,000 stainless steel components that distribute the light to the lowest level of the center. The center will eventually be joined with the World Trade Center Transportation Hub underground a few blocks away creating an impressive center for transportation in lower Manhattan.
What I captured here in late February of 2015, the Oculus and part of the “Sky Reflector-Net” is truly spectacular, the atrium is beautifully lit, escalators, multiple elevators (helpful to an asthmatic like me) and digital kiosks abound. It is a 21st Century building that is the only all digital signage transit hub in New York and there were many digital screens for advertising throughout. This was taken with Olympus E-5 with Olympus Zuiko Digital 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 lens processing in Adobe Lightroom.
Visually impressive, and since it hasn’t been opened long, very little of the retail tenants like Shake Shack had actually opened, so that was a little disappointing. Also there were not many Metrocard machines for such a large hub, I wanted to refill my Metrocard but decided I would do it at my destination in Brooklyn because the lines on the few Metrocard machines were rather long on a Sunday, so I can’t imagine during the work week. Also the new all-digital station with Wi-Fi, well the train platforms themselves didn’t have Wi-Fi , there was no signal. The ultimate goal was to create hub of 9 subway lines & 4 subway stations that were difficult to navigate because in truth the confusion stems from the fact the 4 stations were from the 3 competing early 20th Century transit companies the IRT, the BMT and the IND and never meant to be linked. Is this 1.4 billion dollar station better than the mazes and catacombs that linked the four old stations? The answer is yes, but how much better? The complex is beautiful, but the signage (which can be improved) and the actually getting to the platforms, well not as clear as it could be. Hopefully they are surveying I’d love to give my feedback because even though I do love this wonderful city of New York, I’ll be the first to admit, I picked up Boston’s ‘T’ and Washington DC’s Metro very quickly when staying in those cities for work. MTA is still confusing, which is why I will go out of my way to help out of towners that just don’t get it. It took me several years before I got it, and really only I’m talking about the subway lines I frequent.

Multi-level view of the Fulton Center transportation hub in Manhattan, reminiscent of the work of M. C. Escher.
The Fulton Center is a transit center in Lower Manhattan, and "Sky Reflector-Net" is its architectural highlight. What you're seeing is, according to the designers, an integrated artwork made from perforated optical-aluminum panels and stainless steel cables and fittings.

Fulton Street Station.
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. Which was the case with this photo. These moments don’t happen often, but when they do…
This is the first of a series that I’ve been working on for the last few months. It’s hard to create something different that has been shot a billion times, but here is my take on the interior of this iconic station.
Stay safe everyone
