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.

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.
Potential Applications
-Outdoor public displays, megalithic additions to Earth, cemetery monuments, hanging gardens, indoor museum venues showcasing artworks along a single winding hall, etc.
Potential Locations:
-Near water and roadway crossings, to be seen from the bridges, such as West Memphis on the River Mississippi.
-New York City's Central Park, San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, beach / garden features in your local region / park.
-Labyrinth Pyramid Complex at Four Corners National Monument, U.S.A. with one Labyrinth in each state: AZ, UT, CO, NM, and/or one central labyrinth where walkers cross in and out of the four states to get to the monument marker in the middle.
-Washington D.C. National Mall / Arlington National Cemetery.
-Near existing megalithic pyramid sites, such as: Egypt, Mexico, China, etcetera.
How would you design and arrange a square-style pyramidal labyrinth complex, dedicated to honor the classical elements of nature?
