The Grand Central of the 21st Century.


The World Financial Center is an absolute mess and I was angry and frustrated trying to get around what has to be the craziest construction project in the world when suddenly I found myself in the newly opened underground concourse of Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Transportation Hub and I cursed myself for ever complaining. It is mind-blowing in its beauty and will eventually lead to his masterpiece of a building, what I previously thought was his whale bone, but is, in fact, based on a boy releasing a peace dove, a spectacle of a building, in flight if you will, with a retractable roof that will open every September 11th.
