I thought it was deserted by aliens out there. Modern architecture is really amazing. Who knows some days later, they can bring the ships on land.
Of course there is no way you can build something like this in NYC without everyone in the city having an opinion. The most common complaint is that the white wings are ridiculous because they will be soot covered and grey far too quickly. I think if you want to photograph it I think a weekend morning is a must because the financial district is pretty quiet. During the week it’s a busy busy place.
I haven’t been in Manhattan for over 10 years now and I didn’t visit the Oculus. I have to say it looks quite grandiose and it has a very futuristic design. Very beautiful shots!
Wow! We were in New York last year and saw this amazing structure taking place. It’s good to see the finished result. Amazing!
We visited here last summer as part of a 9/11 tour and it was not open as a transportation hub at the time I don’t think but stores had opened. I was not drawn to it as it is so modern but it is definitely interesting! ~ Jessica
A very interesting space, quite different from the old Grand Central station.
This is really cool. I’ve never heard of it before, but going to NYC next month. Gotta go!
The first thing I thought was “It looks hemmed in!”. But isn’t the inside utterly amazing. It looks like it opens up bigger like Dr. Who’s Tardis. I can imagine it humming like Central Station.
I like Calatrava’s design, so, this is a place I would like to see. Hope part of the magic is not lost when hundreds of people start to use the terminal. You are right about the space where they accommodated the structure. It looks like they crammed it too much.
Modern architecture is mind blowing and this one is no less! Hats off to those architects and designers who create such wonders. Terrific captures.
Happy #TPT!
