In this case it is essentially a big shopping mall and transportation
hub. It is a rather fascinating structure and space near ground zero ...
quoting a wiki page
"An/oculus/is a circular opening in the centre of a dome or in a wall.
Originating in antiquity, it is a feature of Byzantine and Neoclassical
architecture."
The architect is Santiago Calatrava
I took this last summer - when it wasn't quite finished - the flag is
hanging from the platform where the tourists are in this year's shot
after I emrged from
the PATH train station...

I wish they hadn't turned it in to a shopping experience
