Entering the soaring space well before the morning rush, she captured a series of stunning imagery that has since been strung together as an impressive photo essay. With a cost of $4 billion (nearly $2 billion over budget), the World Trade Center Transit Hub [skeletal train station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foster-partners6) nevertheless brings a striking visual component to the city's already celebrate skyline. Although clearly still under construction, the transit hub does the city proud on a variety of levels -- mainly that meant to pay tribute to what once stood there. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Transit Hub Photo Essays:** Capturing and showcasing major transit hubs through photo essays. - **Controversial Addition:** Highlighting and exploring the controversies surrounding new additions to urban landscapes. - **Impressive Photo Essay:** Creating visually stunning narratives through the compilation of photographs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Exploring innovative architectural designs and structures for transit hubs. - **Urban Planning:** Addressing the challenges and opportunities of developing transportation infrastructure in urban areas. - **Media and Publishing:** Leveraging compelling visual storytelling techniques for photo essays in digital and print media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Latticed-Steel Transport Hub Columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metropolitan-station.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Redesigned Unifying Transit Terminals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midtown-bus-terminal.md) - [Mass-Timber Transport Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marengo-multimodal-transport-hub.md) - [Vibrant Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rico-gatson.md) - [Swirled Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tunnel-vision-installation.md) - [Artfully Designed Train Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-studio-mad.md) - [Large-Scale Airport Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-installations.md) - [Glazed Pavilion Landscape Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dongdan-grassland-sea-ruins-station.md)
