The AIA has partnered with Mattel to sponsor a design competition for Barbie's next dream house. Like many design competitions, this one will also not be built but is, rather, what they call "a fun way to play and engage with Barbie® I Can Be™... Architect regardless of your age."
Too bad for architects, though - their designs can't even be realized in the fantasy world of toys, although it's an interesting way to engage other disciplines in the potential education of children, in technicolor pink.
One fun note (if the pink wasn't enough) : One of the judges is a former coworker of mine from my days prior to MIT.
