Constitution Maze
Constitution Maze is a proposal to the Constitution Center located at Independence Mall in
Philadelphia PA.
 |
Enter the maze in the middle of a 360° movie
of the Constitutional Convention. Central
elevators bring people up to this 2nd floor
maze every 5 minutes. Visitors will literally
arrive in the middle of the Constitutional Convention
|
|
The maze visitors will enter is composed of
familiar historical shapes: The Liberty Bell,
The Statue of Liberty, The Capitol Building, a
dollar sign, a quill, an ink bottle, the eagle
from the dollar bill. |
|
|
|
The maze has one true exit and seven quick
exits. Outside each exit, visitors will be able
to see an overhead camera view of the maze,
which will enable them to find their friends
and family. Also, the overhead camera view
will enable visitors to see the design of the
maze. Restrooms will be available outside the
maze. Visitors who choose to exit by a
quick exit will be offered a sticker reading "I
got lost in Constitution Maze." Visitors who
find the true exit will be offered stickers
reading "I solved Constitution Maze."
|
|
|
|
Posters of significant Supreme Court
Decisions, and the documents and judicial
decisions that led to the writing of the
Constitution line the walls of the maze. Each
document is accompanied by photos or
drawings of fashions of the times, newspaper
headlines, politics, science, literature, art,
inventions of that period in history.
|
|
|
|
Bulletin boards inside the walls of the Liberty
Bell will display editorials and news articles
on current constitutional issues such as
assisted suicide, immigration and
exportation. Visitors will be able to add
comments to these bulletin boards on cards
provided. |
|
|
|
Wall displays and posters will be changed
frequently, so the information will be fresh
for repeated visits.
