The green maze as a symbol of human life, its toils and hardships, its blind alleys, is an extraordinarily contemporary form. As a conjunction of spirals and interweaving, the maze is also a representation of infinity and perpetual return. It allows the category of time to be transferred to the category of space. At the centre of the maze, a kind of reward often awaited the wanderer; a hill from which they could watch their companions seeking the path, a temple, a square, a place to rest in the shade of a tree, the water of a fountain or pool, a sun dial, a statue or a poetic inscription. In the chaos of the world, we patiently seek the right road, at the end of which, a surprise might await us. Just as we patiently seek creative solutions in the labyrinth of the imagination, uncertain of quite where we are going as we sketch and of what will finally emerge. In the extraordinarily complex contemporary world, the maze seems to be a theme to inspire the imagination of future landscape architects. It offers the potential for the cohesive drawing of organic and architectural forms which are mutually complementary and descriptive. It schools the recognition of the attributes of spatial complexity while, at one and the same time, preserving the readability and simplicity of the message. It also teaches the skills of drawing architectural and plant forms cohesively and of discerning the three-dimensionality in the latter. In the maze, these two forms come to resemble one another, each reflects the other, they continue layout of the lines. Each follows the other’s shapes, creating cohesive and rhythmic motifs in the space. The maze is a drawing topic unusually suited to developing the imagination of future garden designers. As an exercise, it teaches them to employ the code of the space through the use of lines, patterns, squares and so forth. Breaks in lines, sudden changes of direction and altered degrees of curve create formally underscored points and hubs, focusing our attention.
