The oculus is an eye. It’s in its location because every year on 9/11 from 8:46am to 10:28am, the sun moves directly over the opening where the glass is and fills the oculus with light.
It’s a beautiful building, IMO. Most people I’ve met IRL seem to think so too but Reddit loves whining about it for some reason.

The real reason for the location is the Port Authority owns the land and used post 9/11 support to build a very expensive underground mall under the guise of rebuilding a PATH station that was destroyed on 9/11.

Reddit whines about everything. Doubly so in this sub.
