"Designed by famed Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the Oculus is an aesthetically stunning transit hub that is home to the World Trade Center PATH station with trains to New Jersey, connections to 12 NYC Transit subway lines, and dozens of dining and shopping retailers as part of Westfield’s Shops at the Oculus. Its bi-level underground concourses span the 16-acre World Trade Center campus and also provide access to office towers, the One World Observatory entrance, Brookfield Place and the Ferry Terminal in Battery Park City. Its main floor bustles with commuters, shoppers, and visitors, plus weekly programs, from markets and art exhibits to musical performances and retail events."

"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."
