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.
Expo is a big circus, but every now and again you come across special places and/or situations. We're inside the Caritas Pavilion, a curious construction of white parallelepipeds.In front of us, filling the entire space, an enormous Cadillac, black, beaten-up, found in some American scrapyard. Gazing through the broken windows, inside the rusty bodywork falling to pieces, a rifle rack. Resting against the car a wall of French loaves. Each loaf wrapped in a sheet bearing a sentence by Wolf Vostell, the artist-creator of the work: It's the things you don't know that will change your life. So simple, so clear, so everything. Thank you Caritas, thank you Vostell. This is the link that tells us the meaning of the Caritas Pavilion's presence at Expo. Divinely done. The quality and value of the different pavilions can also be seen in these details. Here's a second link, to: www.fluxus.org/ (Wolf Vostell was one of the most important exponents of this major artistic movement: it was a big surprise for us to find him here at the start of the Decumanus).
