Boston University’s Center for Computing and Data Sciences, located at 665 Commonwealth Ave. and colloquially known as the “Jenga building,” recently earned a place on the shortlist for the World Architecture Festival’s best building of the year and for best interior design.
“As an architect, you don’t determine what’s an icon,” KPMB’s Paulo Rocha, one of the lead architects of CCDS, said. “The public, the world, the people using the space through history will determine if it’s iconic. We just wanted to make a building that really impacted Boston.”
