英国房产开发商Cathedral Group邀请了二十位明星建筑师设计了20栋玩具房子,举办了一个命名为A Doll's House的展览。设计要求每栋房子至少要在一处设计在功能上体现对于残疾儿童的关怀,让他们的生活更方便一点。这些房子已经被拍卖,拍卖费用捐赠给英国慈善机构,去帮助那些有残疾儿童的家庭。
UK property developers Cathedral Group asked twenty of the top contemporary designers and architects to design and build a dolls’ house straight out of the 21st Century for an exhibition called, A Doll’s House. Each house was required to feature at least one element that makes life a bit easier for a child with a disability. After being on display, the dolls’ houses were auctioned off in support of KIDS, a UK charity that supports disabled children, young people, and their families.
Cathedral Group was inspired by Edwin Lutyens’ doll house that he designed for The British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1922, which used what’s considered a traditional children’s toy to showcase the very best of modern British architecture, craftsmanship, art, and interior design.
