Empty warehouses → workshops of wonder 🏗️✨. 2️⃣ ​​Immersive Storytelling​​: Gears + fantasy = living storybook 📖 (touch, crank, and ride everything!). 3️⃣ ​​Cultural Alchemy​​: Da Vinci’s sketches meet Verne’s adventures—no time machine needed ⏳. ​​🌍 Why Designers Worship This Place​​ ​​Lesson 1​​: Dead spaces can dance again 💃. ​​Lesson 2​​: Art + engineering = public joy ✨. ​​Lesson 3​​: Whimsy is serious urban medicine 💊. ​​#DesignThinking #ArtEngineering #IndustrialWonderland​
