STAMPED
We're turning Adelaide's forgotten infrastructure into something exciting, unexpected, and distinctly ours.
Follow the Journey
What if the things
we walk over
became worth stopping for?
Cities are full of places, objects and stories that we barely notice.
Manhole covers are one of them.
They connect us to the infrastructure beneath the city.
But they don't have to be boring!
STAMPED is about making our lived environment more exciting and fun.
We're building
this in public.
No polished retrospective. No pretending we knew what we were doing. Come along while we figure it out.
Find the canvas
Explore Adelaide and discover the infrastructure hiding in plain sight.
Make the case
Work out how a slightly ridiculous idea becomes something a city can actually build.
Make it real
Artists, engineers, fabricators, streets and eventually — a finished cover.
Start looking down.
We're mapping the places that will become part of the STAMPED story.
Make the city
more fun.
The places we live in shape how we experience our lives.
STAMPED is an experiment in making that environment a little stranger, more playful and more connected to the people who live here.
It starts with a manhole cover. It doesn't have to end there.
