Imagineering
Disney's design division
Imagineering blends imagination with engineering—the practice of turning creative visions into functional reality.
The term is most associated with Disney, whose Imagineers design theme park attractions, but it applies broadly to any work that merges artistic vision with technical execution: The new exhibit required serious imagineering to pull off.
