‘Reflected directions (labyrinth)’ is a walkable labyrinth floor in the main lobby of the North Station.
The labyrinth has the shape of a compass needle tip which exactly points to a large compass rose on the wall of the same hall symbolising orientation.
The labyrinth in contrast, requires a complex path. This reflects the tension between the intentions and expectations of travelers on the one hand,
and the complicated tangle of railway station architecture and railway infrastructure on the other.
Basically, two different orientation logics. The shape of the labyrinth is based on a grid with two directions: that of the actual North-South connection,
from station to station, and that of the north and south wind directions. The direction of the winds is shown as a continuous line,
while the direction between the stations is determined by the beginning and end of the maze.
By integrating the directions into the work an locating symmetrically the main station hall on it, the visitor is able to orient himself in a larger context.
