West Entrance, Triulza Side
A Shelter for Refugees
In the Save the Children pavilion, there's one room that's really special. A prototype of the “Shelter for Refugees” project, devised by the Italian company from Friuli Pilosio together with Cameron Sinclair. A really ingenious structure based on a standard module that can be erected in an emergency by anyone. It's a system that is simple, fast and intuitive. In a very short time and for an absurdly low price it's possible to set up a fully functioning school. Scaffolding, standard modular grids to be found on any building site, natural elements found locally. Lastly, roof panels that can also become green to cultivate food. Dario Roustayan (the Pilosio CEO) adds that assembly expects a contribution from the refugees themselves, women included, so that they feel involved in their own destiny and future.
