TUI ( 腿 ) is an office building. The word means 'Legs' in Chinese. As it shows, the animal-like legs stand there as a landmark to identify the CBD by breaking down the depressing dialogue between the skyscrapers and crowded commercial buildings.
Compared with other skyscrapers, TUI has its personality as an architecture: TUI is much more welcome to hug the crowds by its open spaces created by its identical 4 legs.
Site Analysis
The site is located in the south Boston right close to The Institute of Contemporary Art. According to the government plan, it will gradually become the Central Business District in South Boston.
