New York | Glimpsing the Dome's Gaze in the Subway Station π
ππΏThe Fulton Center π 200 Broadway, New York, NY A transit hub near the World Trade Center, where subway lines A, C, 4, and 5 all pass through. The architectural centerpiece is a massive dome-like skylight known as the "Sky Reflector-Net," which allows natural light to flood the underground space, creating a bright and futuristic environment for the transportation hub. ππΏ The design features extensive use of steel and glass to emphasize lightness, transparency, and a sense of technology. My friend and I passed through the station at noon, when sunlight streamed directly through the opening at the top, creating a visual effect similar to the Oculus in Rome's Pantheon. ππΏ From the lowest subway level, you can look up through a circular opening to see the atrium and the dome's structure, which form rich layers. #NewYork #WorldTradeCenter #LowerManhattan ππΏ
