Abstract
There are strong indications that the history of design may have begun with the concept of a meander. This paper explores the application of meanders to new classes of meander and semi-meander knots, meander friezes, labyrinths and mazes. A combinatorial system is introduced to classify meander knots and labyrinths. Mazes are analyzed with the use of graphs. Meanders are also created with the use of simple proto-tiles upon which a series of lines are etched.
