An exterior view of Santiago Calatrava's Oculus. The building is a Transportation Hub for PATH trains.
This is a slightly stylized image of the Oculus in lower Manhattan. The Oculus is a part of the World Trade Center complex, right next to the 9/11 Memorial. It seems like a mall, but the architecture is very reminiscent of the superstructure of the WTC after it fell. This image is of the outside structure, taken from the north. It was processed through Luminar and Topaz Glow to clean and denoise it as well as to make it slightly more abstract.
The main hall of the Westfield World Trade Center, known as the Oculus, is a bright, cathedral-like space with soaring white ribbed arches and marble floors. Inside, you’ll find multiple levels of shops, cafés, and restaurants, all set around a vast open concourse that also serves as a transit hub connecting to the PATH trains, NYC Subway, and the World Trade Center complex.

Greetings! This is my first ever attempt at a photo a day marathon. I've been encouraged by Rod and Jen, and hopefully I can keep it up. This pic was taken at the Woodford Folk Festival, inside a bamboo structure. No filters or editing.

Oculus is the name of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. The structure was designed by Santiago Calatrava and inaugurated in 2016, becoming the new definitive hub station of the financial district after the 11th September attacks. Inside the Oculus the light is really special, soft and almost ethereal.

The Oculus is home to 12 subway lines, the World Trade Centre station, and dozens of retailers, serving over a million people every week.
The main floor bustles with commuters, shoppers, and visitors, plus weekly programs, from farmers' markets and art exhibits to musical performances and retail events.
The Oculus as access points across the entire 16-acre World Trade Centre campus and is owned and operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The Oculus was positioned as part of the World Trade Center masterplan by Daniel Libeskind 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.
The structure's orientation serves as a lasting reminder of the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is in alignment with the sun’s solar angles on each September 11, from 8:46 am, when the first plane struck, until 10:28 am, when the second tower collapsed. Its central skylight fits this alignment and washes the Oculus floor with a beam of light.
