Definition:
An oculus is a round aperture, often set in ceilings or domes to draw light into enclosed spaces. The opening creates a focused beam or soft pool of illumination that shifts as the day moves. It can make architecture feel alive, as though the building is breathing light. The word suggests a single, deliberate eye into the sky. It captures design that frames brightness with precision.
