##EDIT possible solution:
 OrganizationsNewController = Em.ObjectController.extend
    fields: Em.Object.create
      name: '',
      

##Original Question:

#this works, I can bind to name

 #controller
 OrganizationsNewController = Em.ObjectController.extend
    name: ''
  
  #template
  <div class="field">
    {{view Ember.TextField
      type="text"
      placeholder="Name"
      valueBinding="name"
    }}
  </div>
  
#this doesn't work, I can't bind to the property of an object

 #controller
 OrganizationsNewController = Em.ObjectController.extend
    fields:
      name: '',

  #template
  <div class="field">
    {{view Ember.TextField
      type="text"
      placeholder="Name"
      valueBinding="fields.name"
    }}
  </div>
