"Oculus station house, designed by 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, through the station house. The hub contains connections to various New York City Subway stations, including Cortlandt Street on the N, ​R, and ​W trains; World Trade Center on the 2, ​3​, A, ​C, and ​E trains; and WTC Cortlandt on the 1 train. The Westfield World Trade Center mall is also within the Oculus building."
ds106 daily create for July 27, 2014: "Make an interesting photo that uses angles."
I've been out of town for three weeks, traveling in Europe. Just got home last night. I had taken a number of photos with the old iphone I took with me, and this one turned out surprisingly well (most of the photos with the iphone 4 were not very good).
A circle is just a very wide angle, right? Actually, I like the angles of the light.
This is the oculus of the Pantheon in Rome, an ancient Roman building that has been preserved through the centuries because it became a Christian church. The top of the dome is wide open to the elements--the main source of light in the building.
Architect: poss. Apollodorus of Damascus, commissioned by emperor Hadrian c.126AD. First time a dome was used to roof a religious building. Its 27ft diameter Oculus (eye) is open to the elements and illuminates the building with a beautiful light beam. Rome, Italy.

The Pantheon is a building in Rome, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome.
The oculus at the dome's apex and the entry door are the only sources of light in the interior. Throughout the day, the light from the oculus moves around this space in a sort of reverse sundial effect.[38] The oculus also serves as a cooling and ventilation method. During storms, a drainage system below the floor handles the rain that falls through the oculus.
Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. [Extracted from Wikipedia]
