Summary:
Boston's Big Dig was the most expensive urban public work in U.S. history. The city's elevated six-lane highway, called the Central Artery, and the two tunnels under Boston Harbor, were some of the most congested, accident-prone motorways in the United States. The city's solution, nicknamed The Big Dig, was to replace the elevated highway with a series of eight-to-ten-lane underground expressways. Public Works presents a series of 14 disarmingly modest, speculative interventions by the Boston-based MY Studio, a multidisciplinary design firm operating in the space between architecture, art and landscape.

Summary:
Topotek 1 is one of Germany's internationally best-known landscape architecture firms. Rosemarie Trockel has made a name for herself through highly unconventional works that have been exhibited in New York, Chicago, at documenta Kassel, the Venice Biennale, and elsewhere. The new and extremely playful park in Munich is the result of a collaboration between them. It covers a three-hundred-meter section of railroad tracks and creates urgently needed open space for the neighborhood of Theresienhohe. In addition to the design, technically demanding questions like the approach to statics, acoustics, and traffic safety also needed to be solved. This monograph examines the new park design in a number of essays and documents the design and production process.
