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.

His interest lies in architecture and design, in how things are made and why, and in interactions with places. He therefore fills this book with numerous drawings, sketches and full-colour photographs, all of which revolve around the topic of the so-called misunderstanding of Modernism and how urban settings and ideals can be put back on track through effective sculptural or monumental transformations of public space.
