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.
The only pre-existing building on the exhibition site.
The [Media Centre](http://www.expo2015.org/en/useful-information/media-area) you'll recognize immediately, it's those huge wooden trulli that look a lot like the Pavilion Zero (in fact, the architect was the same: Michele De Lucchi). Inside the Media Centre are a whole load of things. The studios of the RAI national broadcasting network, space for visiting journalists, the offices and workspaces of many of us, too. Then there's a special place (and actually, inaccessible). Inaccessible not only to visitors, inaccessible to everyone. It's as if it were a mysterious cathedral, with a single nave, full of paraphernalia; machines, devices, pipes that seem to belong to a sci-fi film. Is it a warehouse? Could it be the pavilion of a nation that doesn't exist? A secret place for mysterious goings on? No one knows anything. But we did manage to take some photos.
