2023 May/June 3 In a Row

The Oculus, which serves as a transportation hub in NYC, opened to the public in March of 2016. It was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava in collaboration with Daniel Libeskind, the architect of the new World Trade Center. Calatrava said that this structural element was meant to resemble the image of a bird released from a child's hands. And every September 11, for two hours, the retractable glass skylight in the ceiling is opened.
