It’s a question of overlaying function on form. First lay out a core grid that guarantees efficient flow—nodes, intersections, and turn restrictions are mathematically optimized. Then layer the artistic elements as non‑interfering constraints: curves that serve as visual interest but still satisfy the underlying grid rules. Use modular panels that can shift or rotate, so the maze can evolve with traffic patterns. In the end, the city moves like a choreographed routine where every twist has a purpose.

That’s the point—each shift is a calculated variable. The panels act like a living variable in a system; every change is predicted to keep the flow stable. The commuters will adapt, but the surprise keeps the route from feeling stale. It’s just another layer of strategy, wrapped in art.
