Article source: Argot ou La Maison Mobile On the occasion of Expo2015, Save the Children Italia Onlus presents a Pavilion that could be better defined as a proper “village”, a domestic and welcoming environment which designs the space of an ideal place of the world where the Ong usually operates. A sequence of rooms without walls and barriers but in conversation with the surroundings and the other pavillions.

Save the Children Village for Expo2015 has been conceived starting from a research of simple materials as wood and metal sheet, together with a floor made by concrete and soil, with the aim to remind the warmth and colours of far away territories.

The project of the outdoor landscape has been created to welcome, to guide, to entertain and to educate the public: vegetal experiences that bring stories with them, cereals of ancient origins, trees and a small vegetable garden, to recall the community allotments that are very important about Save the Children programs.

You can observe and touch the objects that the community workers use every day , you can get immersed in images and sounds. The exhibition tells about the work of the NGO starting from the Expo main topic, following three main themes: Nutrition/Malnutrition/Emergency.
