Do you find museums intriguing, she asks? VERY.
I’m in NYC this week. First day today. I visited a museum for the ages, lest we forget. An absolute must-see.
But first, a bit of Calatrava. What is an Oculus anyway? Don’t MAKE me look it up! Never mind. Here it is:
a round or eye-like opening or design.
- a circular window.
- the central boss of a volute
Stay well, stay upright, find your favorites.
A great collection, and as a photographic memento of a trip, that last one works particularly well.

I would like to see the building in the first photo, even though I did have to look up volute. 😉

Wow, that first building is astounding. I work at a steel fabrication company, and that is an amazing feat of engineering

Thank you 🙏 Calatrava does a lot of unusual shapes. It would be interesting to look up how he does it.

Terrific post John. So glad you loved the museum. It’s difficult to capture how incredibly moving it is but you did so very well. Also loved your angles on both Calatrava and the footprint fountain. Excellent. It’s quite a day there isn’t it?!

I really must go back to NYC one day soon. Last time we were there Ground Zero was just a building site.

Yes. Likewise, my last visit was a year or two after the event.
