Une série de ce bâtiment tout neuf construit en face du Mémorial de Ground Zero. C'est à la fois une gare (trains vers le New-Jersey et un centre commercial de luxe). Une œuvre de l'architecte espagnol Santiago Calatrava.
Les trépieds sont interdits dans les rues de new-York, il faut donc travailler en hauts isos.

The controversial Oculus stands in the location of the World Trade Center's subway station. Cost overruns aside, it is an impressive piece of artwork. Inside there are loads of shops and trains.
The most interesting aspect of the Oculus are the ribs which gives the structure its unique shape.

The Oculus was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. He intended it to resemble a dove leaving a child’s hands. You can see it in the tall, crossed steel columns that make up the exterior. Together, this series of columns forms a pair of 350-foot wings.
From Wikipedia:
The $4 billion Oculus station house, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. The interior of the station house contains two underground floors, which house part of the Westfield World Trade Center mall. The transportation hub connects the various modes of transportation in Lower Manhattan, from the Fulton Center in the east to the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal in the west, and includes connections to various New York City Subway stations. It is the fifth-busiest transportation hub in the New York metropolitan area. The new station has received mixed reviews: although the hub has been praised for its design, it has also been criticized for its high costs and extended delays.
