As a bustling transit and shopping hub, the Calatrava-designed Oculus World Trade Center in New York City is also an urban cathedral. I feel tension in the space; it's simultaneously a public place for commerce and a public space for remembrance. Sometimes those seemingly conflicting purposes are jarring. These interior details highlight the soft edges, play of light, and spaciousness that are available to anyone who slows down to breathe and take them in.
