A life-size indoor maze by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group at the National Building Museum in Washington, offers a glimpse into the upcoming BIG exhibition at the museum in early 2015.

“As you travel deeper into a maze, your path typically becomes more convoluted. What if we invert this scenario and create a panopticon that brings clarity and visual understanding upon reaching the heart of the labyrinth? From outside, the maze’s cube-like form hides the final reveal behind its 5 meter tall walls. On the inside the walls slowly descend towards the center which concludes with a grand reveal – a 360 degree understanding from where you came and where you shall go.” explains founding partner Bjarke Ingels.
