The Center, North Side

The guide to Expo 2015 for design lovers. If we say SoHo, everyone thinks of a specific area of Manhattan (or London, if you are British). However, in New York City, SoHo stands for South of Houston Street. Here we are at Expo 2015; we are not as clever as in New York, so we have no SoDe (South of Decumanus). That said, if we organized names like in New York (NoLIta, North of Little Italy; NoMad, North of Madison Square Park, etc.), we would get SoDe. The south side of the matter. Piero Ciampi would have said: “[the roaring south](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F08NeU_97qY)”. This area was curated by the Social Media Team Expo 2015. All photos by Beatrice Bianchetti and Anna Chiara Maggiolini.

Hortus Conclusus (of Mirrors)

The Poland pavilion is that enormous building covered with wooden boxes, the ones used for the apple harvest. On top of everything (invisible from the outside), there is an incredible enclosed garden. In general, enclosed gardens are always fascinating and special. This garden is two-fold special: the inner wall is lined with mirrors to multiply the space and views infinitely. A never-ending garden of mirrors. Beautiful idea (in summer with the sun shining high, bring water because you dehydrate easily).
