Big Digs
There’s a dope article on the Plenty Mag website about this amazing home that was built out of recycled wreckage from the “Big Dig” in Boston. Basically, after 22 years of digging out underneath Boston to create an underground transportation system, the city is left with 100,000 tons of waste that will either end up in landfills or dumped into the water. Now some of the wreckage is being turned into this.
great article.
Cool looking house and twice as cool because it is made from recycled material.
This was featured in Dwell not too long ago as well. I think it’s great. It’s a bit funny, the EF building not far from the old expressway has a chunk of the Berlin wall out front as art. Big Dig art? Maybe.
cool, stuff that came out of the ground that is now a house and not in the ground somewhere else. whatever.
And the whole idea of the article goes right over Austin’s head. whatever.
This why I love defgrip. Where would I ever find a good read like this anywhere else?
That house is smooth and its slowin down the use of our greatest invention: the land-fill.
My father-in-law worked the Big Dig as a union masonry worker.
