The insane 4 billion dollar Oculus Building in New York City

This weird alien looking building is the Oculus building and serves as the train station for 1 World Trade Center in New York. We encountered the building purely by chance when we came out of one of the other street exits for the WTC subway stop.

We had gone to check out the WTC memorial that day. I will share shots from that in another post. It was surreal though knowing I had been in the WTC towers as a child marvelling at their colossal nature. Now gone.

Anyway, going back to the oculus, it is a very strange yet beautifully built piece of architecture that really feels like it belongs in a science fiction movie. Other people seemed to agree because the place was packed with people taking pictures.. just like me!

Thanks for Looking.

Wow - incredible! I like the 'airy feel' of this, especially seeing what happened here, it must have been extra important to create something people would feel comfortable and not too 'enclosed' in. I've seen the memorial a few years ago - it's impressive. This I will have to see on my next NYC visit.
