Bronze Square Labyrinth
Unlike a maze that forces decisions, in a labyrinth, the only choice is whether or not to turn back before reaching the path's conclusion, in this case, the center.

Presenting a Square-Style Labyrinth
with proportions close to Phi
- or the Golden Section -
hence the bronze title.
- 3D Structures -
Aside from the central pillar and open-corner mark, these pyramidal labyrinths can be comprised of only one singular wall of varying heights. Additionally, the dedicated entrance and exit offers continuous walking-flow without cross-traffic when the diagonal sections of the path are ~4 feet or wider.
These structures can be aligned with the cardinal directions, either as single labyrinths, or in a complex. Features may include a fountain, flame, wind element, Tesla coil, obelisk, statues, etc. Potential stylizations are numerous, possibly wondrous.
