I just read on daddytypes that twenty leading architects from around the world are participating in a fundraising initiative for the organization KIDS--a UK-based charity that supports children with disabilities-- by creating 21st century dollhouses that each address a disabled child's needs.
What a great project, and what incredible eye candy!

The houses, currently up for bid, will be auctioned off at Bonhams in London on November 11. They are not cheap, people, and many reserves are not yet met.
You can read more about the project at A Dolls' House. I will continue to keep tabs on this!
Me parece una estupenda iniciativa
ReplyDeleteEstoy de acuerdo - Espero que el resultado es bueno!
DeleteAs a former teacher of students in special education programs I can surely appreciate this! THANKS. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful investment of creativity and energy. Glad I could share it!
DeleteMuitas maquetes. Eu adoro arquitetura e já estudei desenho arquitetonico, adorei aprender sobre construçao de casas, Abraço, Fernanda
ReplyDeleteÉ realmente ótimo ver como os arquitetos aplicar seu talento em pequena escala.
DeleteWhat a fabulous idea. I'm all for architects using their skills to make dollhouses, and even more so when it's for charity. Thanks for keeping us up to date
ReplyDeleteHear, hear! And the reserves are almost all met, so it did the trick of raising the funds.
DeleteCool! Sometimes this stuff seems like torture, ey?
ReplyDeleteTotally. Drooling. Not in a position to even stick my toe in the water!
Deletewhat a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? Hope there is more of this!
DeleteI am drooling!! I wish I had the $$$ to bid on one of these. I think the reserves are definitely out of my reach. BUT I LOVE seeing more architects getting into the modern miniature world. More please!
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!! And yes, hopefully the success of this will inspire some more initiatives.
DeleteThese are wonderful! I so wish I could bid on one of them for myself and for the kids. They do give some inspiration too.
ReplyDeleteI think some are very inspiring, and challenge our idea of what a dollhouse is.
