Oculus - interior/detailing

One of the most anticipated work post 9/11 must be the Oculus, the World Trade Center major transportation hub. Calatrava used the angle of light where at exactly 10:28 am each September 11th (which was the exact time the North Tower collapsed), a beam of light would pass through the roof and reach all the way down to the center of the Oculus floor. The architect's overall inspiration in terms of design and intent was to symbolize a dove released from a child's hand, which is the over arching form of the Oculus.
