This was a trip down memory lane… During the construction phase of this 1.4 billion dollar urban transit project, I interned at one of the firms building this site. I still remember how the architects, engineers and the client (MTA) discussed the mockup of the sheet metal oculus you can see in this picture. Interesting trivia: 1 - The perforated sheet metal was produced in Germany and had to be shipped to the US. 2 - The Oculus seen here can be confused with the main hall of the nearby PATH station designed by celebrated architect Santiago Calatrava. Both ‘features’ carry the same name!
