Gruen Effect: “Ever notice how when you enter a large grocery store, Common items like bread & milk are right at the back, And the journey there is Labyrinthine? The layout is designed to confuse you, So you become lost, And end up impulse-buying items you don’t need.” https://t.co/OWeuvAp2Ky — HïMY SYeD 🍥 City of […]
Toronto & Vancouver City of Labyrinths is a Project to create public Labyrinths within walking distance of every Torontonian & Vancouverite.
Intended to create safe walking spaces for both play and contemplation.
Labyrinths are placed in parks, public spaces, during neighbourhood street parties or major urban festivals like Pedestrian Sunday Kensington Market in Toronto or Car Free Days in Vancouver.
