Barbie is looking for a dreamhouse...

Yep, you read it right. A competition has been launched to design a Dreamhouse for iconic doll, Barbie.The winning design will be the home of architect Barbie, yet another career the doll has added to the long list.

"Along with introduction of the newest Barbie, the American Institute of Architects and Mattel announce the Architect Barbie Dream House Design Competition. It’s an opportunity for architects to design a home for Barbie that meets her guidelines, which include sustainable design principles, room for an office, open living and dining areas and plenty of room for her five pets, including her giraffe."

Yes... a giraffe. Now how often does that come up on the architect's brief. I'd be interested to see the entries.
