The legendary character who has been a Chef, Doctor, Vet and even Computer Engineer is now tackling a new career- Architect. I Can Be…. Architect Barbie, which is due to hit shelves in August, is the 2011 Career of the Year for the famous, pink-loving doll. MATTEL said the Architect Barbie was created by a popular vote, and is used to encourage girls to strive for interesting and exciting careers. According to MATTEL Architect Barbie “ showcases a symmetrically stylish outfit featuring the bold colors and clean lines of the city skyline, with essential on-the-job accessories to design her newest Dream House®.” Do you think Architect Barbie is positive for the design community?
