    • SYMPOIESIS is a gigantic artwork, designed by MVRDV, Arttenders and Alex Verhaest, that will steal the show during Floriade Expo 2022 and for a long time afterwards. It is printed on the 40-meter-high facade of Flores – the central tower dominating the Floriade and in itself an icon for Hortus, the new urban district of Almere.
