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.

The only pre-existing building on the exhibition site.
Traditionally, at the Great Universal Expos, various countries presented assorted wonders of technique and technology. This was the XXth century. Now we are in the XXIst, from which the various countries are represented in more sophisticated and unexpected ways. In the heart of the Poland Pavilion there is an incredible chocolate sculpture. A model railway where everything (including the trains in motion) is chocolate. Made by the laboratories of Ernest Wedel, this wonder reminds us that Poland is one of the countries where the production of chocolate has reached (and reaches) peaks of absolute excellence. A train whose scent spreads throughout the pavilion: how wonderful!
