A well-designed drain cover showed about one part of the hidden codes
with a limit of regularity behind the sewer around Fountain Park in Edinburgh

This Project embodies the aesthetic and structural elements of Edinburgh’s manhole covers, transforming these ordinary objects into recognizable symbols for both locals and visitors. Through this symbolic code, the project redefines manhole covers as landmarks, each with its own "message" for the city, encouraging public recognition and appreciation of the invisible yet essential elements of urban infrastructure.

The unique "code" of Fountain Park’s sewer system in Edinburgh was created through meticulous observation and documentation of manhole covers along the route. Each cover was carefully counted and recorded to develop a distinct text sequence that symbolizes the hidden, often overlooked infrastructure beneath the city. This project translates the individual characteristics of each manhole cover into a symbolic sequence, forming a coded "identity" for the area that reflects the unseen systems supporting urban life.
体现了爱丁堡井盖的美学和结构元素,将这些普通物品转变为当地人和游客都可识别的符号。通过这种象征性代码,该项目将井盖重新定义为地标,每个井盖都有自己的城市“信息”,鼓励公众认识和欣赏城市基础设施中看不见但必不可少的元素。

爱丁堡喷泉公园下水道系统的独特“编码”是通过对沿途井盖的细致观察和记录而创建的。每个井盖都经过仔细计数和记录,以开发出一个独特的文字序列,象征着城市下方隐藏的、经常被忽视的基础设施。该项目将每个井盖的个体特征转化为一个符号串行,为该地区形成一个编码的“身份”,反映了支持城市生活的看不见的系统。
