Eighteen architects took up the challenge to design a contemporary dollhouse based on the perception of reality by children with disabilities. All architects came up with their own answer in the form of doll houses that offer children with an energy metabolic disease new play possibilities, who put the world in their bed or show through a powerful image what having such a disease means. After seeing and experiencing the designed doll houses, it is no longer self-evident that spatial planning such as inside and outside is self-evident. The dollhouse as a play, learning, research and art object challenges, excites and takes us “ordinary” people into a beautiful, special world, which could just be the world of special children.
