Brazilian artists Marcos Saboya and Gualter Pupo used 250,000 books to create a maze called "aMAZEme" at the Royal Festival Hall in London as part of the Southbank Centre's Festival of the World. It will be on display until August 25, 2012.
It's a pretty cool maze, and I wonder how long it took them to install the maze. The only other information I found was that the maze was inspired by Argentinian writer and educator J.L. Borges, and was created in the shape of Borges fingerprint. The maze covers an area of 500 square metres, or approximately 5382 square feet, and sections stand up as high as 2.5 meters, or approximately 8 feet. Quotes from book sare projected onto the maze walls, and there is also accompanying audio.
