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.

These pyramidal labyrinths can be comprised of only one singular wall of varying heights, however the central pillar and open-corner mark add a completed touch. 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.
Potential Applications
-Outdoor public displays, megalithic additions to Earth, hanging gardens, indoor museum venues showcasing artworks along a single winding hall, cemetery monuments, etc.
