Maze of the week #54 takes us to a new country with the Heydar Aliyev Center Maze located in Baku, Azerbaijan. I found a picture of this very cool building as I was searching for great architecture around the world. Designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, it houses an auditorium, a gallery hall and a museum. You can read more about the museum on the Wikipedia page.

Check out a video of the building:

The Maze: I went with a black and white version. (to make in color I would just need to make the windows blue).

We start 2023 with one of my favorite mazes that I have ever made. It is of the Museo Soumaya located in Mexico City. The maze is of the building named the Plaza Carso, opened in 2011 and designed by Mexican Architect Fernando Romero. You can read the wiki about it here, or visit their website and plan a trip.

Now this maze made me rethink what the possible solutions are to a maze. One of the most popular options that people inquire about is the hidden message maze where the solution is a word. The solution to this maze is a variation on that theme. You’ll have to solve it to find out what it is !
