Light shines down into the Pantheon through the 27 ft (8.3 m) wide oculus through it's amazing dome. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by an enormous rounded room covered by the dome. The oculus at the top of the dome was never covered, allowing rainfall through the ceiling and onto the floor. Because of this, the interior floor is equipped with drains and has been built with an incline of about 30 cm (12 in) to promote water run off. The interior of the dome was possibly intended to symbolize the arched vault of the heavens.

The Oculus is the centerpiece of The World Trade Center Transportation Hub. After 12 years of construction and constant delays, it finally opened to the public on March 3, 2016. Designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the $4 billion building exceeded the original estimate by 100%! In total, the WTC Oculus is 350 feet long and measures about 75,000 square feet of retail space. In fact, the Oculus blurs the line between a railway station, shopping center and pedestrian tunnel!(loving-newyork.com)
I seem to be developing a thing for these 'mid-70s AMC Matadors. They're so hard to find now, whenever I see one I just gotta shoot it. Night, 79-seconds of full moon, hand-lit with love, 4 colors of light laid from 6 angles, direct, bounced and snooted, using the Protomachines flashlight.
The Oculus is a shopping mall at the World Trade Centre complex in Manhattan, New York, USA.
Opening in 2016 as the largest shopping complex in Manhattan, it contains 125 retail spaces.
It replaced the Mall at the World Trade Centre - the underground shopping mall under the original World Trade Centre, which was destroyed on September 11, 2001.
Positioned by Daniel Libeskind as part of the World Trade Centre masterplan and designed by Santiago Calatrava.

The $4 billion 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 Chambers Street–World Trade Center/Park Place/Cortlandt Street on the 2, 3, A, C, E, N, R, and W trains and WTC Cortlandt on the 1 train. It is the fifth-busiest transportation hub in the New York metropolitan area.

With an additional 290,000 square feet of exciting, multi-level retail and dining space, the World Trade Center site is the focal point of Lower Manhattan.
Visión personal del interior de la arquitectura llamada The Oculus, un vanguardista proyecto del arquitecto español Santiago Calatrava, para una enorme estación de metro y centro comercial subterraneo, que se ubicó en la zona cero junto al World Trade Center...Esta composición es un montaje con dos imágenes diferentes capturadas dentro de esa arquitectura. Una es un lateral de la estructura visto desde el interior de la bóveda, y la otra un reflejo deformado por la textura de un adorno navideño, ubicado sobre el suelo de esa misma bóveda.....Imaginé la composición a modo de un gran ojo en relación con el nombre del lugar......Pero cada cual puede ver esta idea como mejor crea
The most expensive subway station in the world.
World Trade Center is a terminal station in Lower Manhattan for PATH rail service. It was originally opened on July 19, 1909, as Hudson Terminal, but was torn down, rebuilt as World Trade Center, and re-opened July 6, 1971. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, a temporary station opened in 2003. This station serves as the terminus for the Newark – World Trade Center and Hoboken – World Trade Center routes. The main station house, the Oculus, opened on March 4, 2016, and the terminal was renamed the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, or World Trade Center for short. "Wikipédia"
