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.

The main station house, the Oculus, opened on March 4, 2016, and the terminal was renamed the World Trade Center Transportation Hub ( short from Wikipedia ).
The Oculus is the World Trade Center transportation hub in Lower Manhattan. The glass-and-steel structure, opened to the public in 2016, was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
Looking up from four levels below Piazza Gae Aulenti in Milan through a circular openinging, which frames the soaring UniCredit Tower, where curved concrete, glass, and touches of greenery create a perfect architectural lens to the sky.
