World Trade Center Transportation Hub by Santiago Calatrava: Research

I found the Oculus's exterior design very impressive. As I liked how its structure is characterized by its unique design that signifies a dove leaving a child's hand. In addition, its chosen simple white color shows that it is modest, clean, and attractive to tourists.

The reason why Oculus's interior design attracted me, is that it has a spacious main hall with a bright white color scheme and a retraceable skylight that fills the space with natural light, creating an airy and welcoming environment. Moreover, The space from the inside looks comfortable and aesthetic.
 



Every and each piece of Oculus's structure is made of metal, which makes it stronger, more unique, futuristic and aesthetic which makes it more attractive to visitors. I liked the color of the metal, as it seems natural which therefore will make people comfortable and relaxed.
