Overview
The World Trade Center station and Oculus is the PATH terminal in the Financial District, where the Newark-World Trade Center and Hoboken lines end, near the site of the H&M Hudson Terminal (1909). The $4 billion station house, the Oculus, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, has white steel ribs that interlock high overhead, meant to evoke a bird released from a child's hand. Above are the Westfield World Trade Center mall and connections to the subway (the Cortlandt Street station on the 1 line), and its interior is often praised even as some criticize its cost.
