Project Description

Representing the cultivation, preparation, and use of spices globally, this cluster gives users a taste of the substances in cooking as well as a look at how they have been used globally as medicine and in cultural rituals. A central path through the site is flanked by pavilions representing the four participating countries and with imagery representing the rich colors and textures of the spices and their region of origin.

FROM MILAN EXPO 2015:

The Cluster will offer visitors the experience of a journey in the contemporary world of spices. The experiential zones offering tastings, installations, technological supports and events will explain how the various cultures cultivate, prepare and use spices in the kitchen, in medicine and in social-cultural rituals. A central path will present on both sides national pavilions enveloped in the sensorial and interactive zones creating an infinite mix of experiences.
