The classification and typology of non-maze labyrinths has evolved over the past several decades due to increased worldwide awareness and use of labyrinths, international communication, and analysis ranging from casual interest to intense study. Just as labyrinth design has had periods of innovation, we are in the midst of a significant moment in typology.

The Labyrinth Typology Research Group is intended for folks who have more than a casual interest in labyrinth patterns. We delve into current trends in labyrinth classification and typology, pattern analysis, labyrinths as mathematical topologies, and related topics. We share our work to further the work. This international group offers opportunities to connect via email and Zoom.
