Maze of the Week #93 - London City Hall

Maze of the Week #93 is of a cool building in the great city of London, England, London City Hall, which is located on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. Well that is not entirely true, because this was London City Hall between 2002 and 2021, but the city hall has since moved ! Here is the crazy thing - I like that building too and may make a maze of it ! This is my second maze from London, the first being a maze of the iconic building The Gherkin. You can read about the City Hall building on the Wikipedia page. I loved the architecture and knew it would make a great maze.

YouTube: A 3 minute long open house showing the building.

Maze of the Week #92 - Kresge Auditorium Maze

Maze of the Week #92 takes us to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA which a normal person just calls MIT. This is their Kresge Auditorium building which is used for the performing arts. Designed by famous architect Eero Saarinen the building was completed and opened in 1955. I loved the look of the building and knew it would make a great maze.

YouTube: A 4 minute long documentary about the museum with some nice pictures:

The Maze: In color. Relatively easy to solve. I made new trees than those that I have used in the past (more detail /gaps vs. the ‘flat’ trees I have made before). Trying to make the trees look more realistic.

Maze of the Week #91 - Monte Alban Maze

Maze of the Week #91 keeps us in Mexico for my 3rd different maze of a pyramid or ruin with this Monte Alban Maze from the Zapotec archeological site in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here are my other 2 similar mazes:

Chichen Itza Maze

Mayan Ruins at Uxmal Maze

Photos: I had a chance to visit the site because I lived in the city for 3 months. Here is a gallery of pictures I took, one of which was used to make the maze. I went on a day with perfect weather - easy to do around there - and was one of the first 5 people in the site, so my pictures include very few people !

YouTube: Here is a quick 6 minute video showing the grounds if the pictures weren’t enough.

The Maze: I re-worked this maze after finishing it. A small re-color and then I re-sized it from paper size to a size that fit the structure/maze better. I also added shadows which were a huge improvement IMO.

The Maze: I re-worked this maze after finishing it. I think the improvements improved it a bit; not a drastic change, but definitely better. The maze is large and more difficult than usual, but I held back making it extra difficult. Here is the final maze:
