These are all terrific, and are either obscure or all-but forgotten:

Evolution's Darling by Scott Westerfield

Stone by Adam Roberts

Broken Time by Maggie Thomas

Double Star by Robert Heinlein (forgotten classic, but still terrific)

The God of the Labyrinth by Colin Wilson (creepy, trippy, near-pornographic, but also mind-blowing)

Stations of the Tide by Michael Swanwick

Camp Concentration by Thomas M. Disch

Carve the Sky by Alexander Joblokov

Metaplanetary by Tony Daniel

Marrow by Robert Reed

I really enjoyed Marrow and The Well of Stars by Robert Reed.

I've got to mention Alastair Reynolds main Revelation Space novels, throughout the series you are introduced to alien artifacts and structures. (the Amerantin archaeological digs in 'Revelation Space', the alien bridge in 'Absolution Gap', the bloodspire in 'Diamond Dogs').

Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon is probably one of the earliest science fiction novels (1930's) containing BDO's (artificial planets, Dyson Spheres).

You could also try out the Godlike Machines anthology edited by Jonathan Strahan, contains short stories from Stephen Baxter, Cory Doctorow, Sean Williams, Robert Reed, Greg Egan and Alastair Reynolds

I've got a recommendation. Robert Reed's Marrow!

This is a quite a fun romp with a mysterious, large Neptune-sized planet ship that enters our galaxy from extra-galactic space. This vast ark is habitable both inside and out and hosts a vast array of humans and alien species in a transhuman era.

Marrow and its sequel, The Well of Stars is big-scale sci-fi. The descriptions of the pertinent BDO are both copious and detailed. Enjoy!
