The Design of a Reconfigurable Maze

Year: 2014 Authors: Craig S. Kaplan

Core claim

A tile-based reconfigurable maze can be designed, but satisfying perfection, clear objectives, and high reconfigurability forces compromises and leaves open many design challenges.

Domains

graph theory, combinatorics, topology, algorithms, mathematical art, toy design, puzzle design, architectural patterning

Methods

prototype design, constraint analysis, tile routing types, combinatorial reasoning

Media

square tiles, moulded plastic, extruded maze fragments, 2 x 2 grid
