Adrian Fisher MBE is a British pioneer, inventor, designer and creator of mazes , puzzles, public art, tessellations, tilings, patterns and networks of many kinds. He is responsible for more than mazes in 42 countries since Fisher has created 63 mirror mazes , and pioneered the extensive use of thematic chambers within mirror mazes, to achieve Mirror Maze Adventures.
He designed the world's first cornfield maize maze in and over since, and has set 7 Guinness World Records. He pioneered the genre of Path-in-Grass Mazes, and has created over a dozen around the world. Fisher has invented several brick paving and mosaic tiling systems. For the Orang Utan Pavement Maze at Edinburgh Zoo, he invented a new paver tessellation using 7-sided and 5-sided regular pentagon bricks.
The 'Fisher Paver', his second paving system uses 7-sided and 4-sided bricks and has been installed within paving projects on both sides of the Atlantic. Its benefits include being able to achieve dynamic and intriguing designs straight off the pallet with no cutting, thus offering excellent labour productivity when laying; it only requires one new 7-sided paver shape, yet its modular scale matches all industry-standard paving systems.
Fisher's third paving system is the Mitre System, which he invented and patented together with the American mathematician Ed Pegg. Used for both mosaics and paving, their distinctive angular shapes create unique and pleasing images. Fisher designs puzzles for British newspapers and the World Puzzle Championships. The Guardian newspaper named him as one of Britain's top 50 designers.
He was the recipient of the Resorgimento Award at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, USA, on May 24, , "in recognition of those who have demonstrated outstanding creativity, who have and will continue to change the world in which we live".
