ARCHITECT: SANTIAGO CALATRAVA (2016)


The Oculus is the main station house in the World Trade Center Transportation Hub that was designed and built after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack.
After Santiago Calatrava designed The Oculus it took 14 years to complete the structure with the dynamic white winged arches showing above ground.
Its a beautiful dynamic structure that is a standout in the World Trade Center memorial area.
