大挖掘是一个在美国历史上最贵的高速公路生产项目。这个项目包含了一个联通中央动脉的隧道，位于波士顿地下，并要求为地铁线路和管线以及公用事业管线提供巨大的能源工作，使其能够重置与替换之前的。挖掘工人遇到许多不可思议的地质学问题和考古障碍，包括冰川碎片基础埋的房屋和一些沉船位于填海所得的土地。
The Big Dig is the most expensive highway project in the history of the US. The project included rerouting the Central Artery into a tunnel under the heart of Boston, requiring a tremendous engineering work due to underlaying metro lines and pipes and utility lines that would have to be replaced or moved. Tunnel workers encountered many unexpected geological and archaeological barriers, ranging from glacial debris to foundations of buried houses and a number of sunken ships lying within the reclaimed land.
大挖掘屋由单速设计，材料由大挖掘提供。在一方面，这是一个卓越的建筑可持续项目，建筑师这样谈到。
The Big Dig House by Single Speed Design reutilizes materials from the Big Dig. In that aspect, it′s a remarkable example of recycling in architecture. Project description by the architects after the break.
作为一个标准屋，示范如何基础建造的废物被重复利用，整个3400平方建筑的结构系统包含了钢结构和混凝土系统，这些都是有波士顿大挖掘项目中的大约600000磅废弃物，采购于高架桥i93拆卸项目。计划通过简单的方式重组这些材料，系统性的组织这些，微妙的空间布置更创造了大高速路项目的布置。
As a prototype building that demonstrates how infrastructural refuse can be salvaged and reused, the structural system for this 3,400sf house is comprised of steel and concrete discarded from Boston’s Big Dig utilizing over 600,000 lbs of salvaged materials from elevated portions of the now dismantled I-93 highway. Planning the reassembly of the materials in a similar way one would systematically compose with a pre-fab system, subtle spatial arrangements are created from the large-scale highway components.
然而，这些相同的组件能够承载更高的负载比标准的建材，因此很容易实现一体化的大型种植屋面花园。最重要的是，该项目演示了一个尚未开发的潜力，为公共领域的前端战略规划，建造急需的社区计划，包括学校，图书馆和住房时，基础设施被解构，节省宝贵的资源，体现了能源和纳税人的钱。
These same components however are capable of carrying much higher loads than standard building materials, thus easily allowing the integration of large scale planted roof gardens. Most importantly, the project demonstrates an untapped potential for the public realm: with strategic front-end planning, much needed community programs including schools, libraries, and housing could be constructed whenever infrastructure is deconstructed, saving valuable resources, embodied energy, and taxpayer dollars.
