West Entrance, Triulza Side

The guide to Expo 2015 for design lovers. The Triulza Entrance is the other large access point to our temporary city. Those who come by train arrive here as well as those who come by Metro and miss the Fiorenza entrance. In front of you dozens and dozens of turnstiles, endless queues (if there were no queues, it would mean that the event was a flop, and so, long live the queues!). This is the entrance where you'll find the twenty-two giant statues by Dante Ferretti, [“The Guardians of Food”](http://www.expo2015.org/en/news/president-sergio-mattarella-inaugurates-the-works-of-dante-ferretti-at-expo-milano-2015), so appreciated by the huge population of Instagram. But before entering, we have a couple of places to stop off at... All the photos are by Beatrice Bianchetti and Anna Chiara Maggiolini.

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. [A really fascinating project](http://www.cameronsinclair.com/milan-2015-expo/).
