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.
The only pre-existing building on the exhibition site, the [Cascina](http://www.expo2015.org/en/the-triulza-farmhouse) was renovated and kitted out to house the NGOs and other associations participating in Expo. As well as this being the first time at a universal exposition where the third sector is an integral part of the event, the Cascina, run by the Triulza Foundation, offers a picnic area where many visitors love to linger – also because of the hammocks, workshops on the most varied of themes, markets where you can try a Sicilian Cannolo among the best that exist, and every day the chance to see a wheel of [Grana Padano](http://visit.expo2015.org/en/grana-padano-presents-its-factory-cheese) cheese being made. The design as a soup with many different ingredients. Not planned, nor coordinated, many times self-managed and/or unexpected. The result is excellent and we really like it!
