Default Serendipity from New Scientist 27 July 2024

So, leafing through last weeks issue there was a double page spread, mainly photos, published (maybe promoted by) The Eden Project.,
It was referencing a book they launched "102 Things to Do with a Hole in the Ground": https://futureterrains.org/project/1...in-the-ground/

One image caught my eye immediately, it was from inside an old coal mining complex in Essen Germany "repurposed" as a design museum.
The photo was of this exhibit: https://www.red-dot-design-museum.or...ighlights/audi

This is the actual image they chose:
