| The winning entry in AIA's Barbie Dream House competition (source: FastCoDesign) |
Barbie has a new dream home and this one's eco-friendly fabulous. Equipped with a green house, solar panels on the roof, Energy Star appliances and locally sourced and manufactured materials, Barbie's new dream home would make the U.S. Green Building Council proud.
The house was designed as part of the American Institute of Architects' Barbie Dream House competition, designed to inspire young girls to experience the world of architecture and the range of possibilities that design thinking offers. The winning entry was submitted by recent Harvard master's grads who believe that Barbie should uphold the "principles set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council while staying true to all the needs of a classic California girl."
Mattel won't actually be producing the house, but maybe it will inspire other architects to create their own, real-life eco-friendly dream homes.
