Excerpts:
Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, The Oculus’ design is based on the pure concept of a bird being released from the hand of a child; a fitting source of inspiration considering what historic and earth-altering events took place on the very same ground some 15 years ago (2001).
Positioned between the impending 2 World Trade Center and 3 World Trade Center towers, the $4BN USD structure includes a train station and a Westfield-invested shopping mall.
