We were in New York City for the 2017 Photo Expo and decided to check out the $4 BILLION transportation hub called "The Oculus". Formally, it's known as "The World Trade Center Transportation Hub".

Winged dove or beached whale carcass? These are just two of the descriptions being used for the $4 billion structure that encloses the World Trade Center Transportation hub in New York.
Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, I think it is a beautiful glass and steel structure. Consider it a modern - very modern - Grand Central station update. People still gaze in awe at Grand Central and people will still gaze at this structure for decades to come.
We completely geeked out at #ThirdThursMIA: Nerd Thursday.
We toured the galleries with The Tangential, got our game on with Source Comics and Games, made our own fantasy art with Taylor Baldry, connected art and science with special mini-tours, and dressed to impress in our best bow ties and suspenders.
Then, we forged our own pocket protectors, marveled at PowerPoint Karaoke, tested out Oculus Rift and other tech projects with Best Buy and the MIA, got crafy with the Crafty Geeks, and collaborated on cartooning with Autoptic.

In a previous photograph, 'Temple Sanctuary' I made a note on the circular feature high on the back wall, "What do you suppose went here?" Here is the answer: another Oculus window, to match the one in the front. Since 109 Blinman was built as a Jewish synagogue, originally the window would have held a leaded-glass Magen David, the six-pointed Star of David revered as a religious symbol.
The star window was probably removed from the frame in 1974, when the local Ohave Cholum Society merged with the Congregation Beth El and the building changed hands, sold to Spanish-American Cultural Real Estate, Inc., the organization that became Centro de la Comunidad.
If someone should replace the glass in the rear Oculus, should they also use a leaded glass design? What would the design look like?

This is the view you get when you enter the Oculus from East side at the Church Street entrance in downtown Manhattan.
Across the way is the Greenwich Street entrance.
It has three levels of roughly 365,000 square feet of retail space called the Westfield World Trade Center and was the largest shopping complex in Manhattan when it opened on August 16, 2016. It replaced the original 'Mall at the World Trade Center' complex that was under WTC 4 and 5.
