Remember PostCarden, the postcard + garden combo? Another Studio for Design, the company behind this lovely invention has just come up with MatchCarden, a garden in a little matchbox!
Aren’t they the cutest? We wouldn’t mind growing a few of these on our desks!
To celebrate this new launch, they’re offering a set of PostCardens (includes 4 cards: Allotment, City, Football and Botanical) to one lucky postcrosser. To participate, visit their site, and tell us:
What architectural building from your country do you think should be turned into a PostCarden or MatchCarden?
Answers on the comments, until midnight September 3rd UTC. Good luck!

Paleis het Loo the Netherlands
Manuc's Inn (Hanul lui Manuc) from Bucharest, Romania. :-)

CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Great American Tower at Queen City Square, it's the newest skyscraper in Cincinnati and has a lovely tiara on top to represent the Queen City.

Museum of Modern Art KUMU (Estonia) http://www.ekm.ee/eng/ekm.php

The Chateau Frontenac in Quebec Canada!
In my opinion the "Hundertwasserhaus" in Vienna must be a Postcarden, because there also grow plants in reality!
What about Q1 on the Gold Coast in Australia??
We have some lovely buildings here in Las Vegas that would be appropriate. The Bellagio has a lovely conservatory that would work, or plant right out in front where the fountains are.
The White House !
It's not a building exactly, but I think The General Jackson Showboat would make a lovely PostCarden. The plants would look like the water the boat is floating on.
I think that st. Botolph's church (known locally as the stump) would be cool as it is the tallest church in the UK.
Eiffel Tower :)
Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's (third president of US, and principle author of our Declaration of Independence) home in Virginia. It is UNESCO World Heritage, but beyond that it is a treasure trove for gardening history.
The Getty Museum in Los Angeles would be cool! They even have a garden on a roof there!
Durban,South Africa, City hall
I think the Western Railway Station from Budapest would make a lovely PostCarden - it was designed by Eiffel!:)
Sarah Orne Jewett House
in So. Berwick Maine
The 1774 Georgian house features fine paneling, original 18th and 19th century wallpapers and period furnishings. Author Sarah Orne Jewett was born in the house in 1849.
In Winnipeg we have the Legislative Building with the Golden Boy on top ( a gift from France) and Queen Victoria Statue along with Louis Riel statue
The town hall of Münster, Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_City_Hall_of_M%C3%BCnster), where the Peace of Westphalia was made :)
I would love to see the Washington, DC mall area turned into a PostCarden, with some of the important monuments surrounding it! :]
The San Diego Zoo, maybe? Or any zoo with a nice front gate--that could be cool!
I guess it would be great as The Old Fire Station at Kiama and Daisy the cow their fibreglass replica mascot could graze in it.
Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles.
I'd love to see Ulen Sentalu Musem turned into a PostCarden. It's a pretty museum in the most active yet beautiful volcano area in Indonesia. It would be very lovely :)
The Beehive, Wellington. New Zealand
The Sydney opera house of course!!!
the sydney opera house for sure! with the botanic gardens out back in a MatchCarden!
I would suggest Puerta de Alcalá(Madrid), Winter Palace (St-Petersburg, Russia)or The Bolshoi Theatre building (Moscow, Russia)
The Flatiron Building in Manhattan, New York City.
I think the United States Botanical Garden or maybe The Biltmore House both are very nice buildings.
The Round Barn in Arcadia, Oklahoma! With a windmill and a tractor in the background it would be a cute little farm!
The Courthouse in Greensburg Indiana......We have a tree growing out of the top of the Courthouse!
The National Theater and Concert Hall in Taipei, Taiwan.
Photo:
Concert Hall
http://goo.gl/rwwqQ
National Theater:
http://goo.gl/Cq2MN
North Dakota State Capital building as a PostCarden
Statue of Liberty for sure!
The 101 building in Taiwan!
I would say:
1. the Chi Lin Nunnery/Nan Lian Gardens in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong. It's Tang Dynasty architecture, with a lot of great gardens around it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Lin_Nunnery)
2. King Yin Lei on Stubbs Road. (http://www.conservancy.org.hk/heritage/KYL_E.htm), or;
3. Just a "generic" pagoda like the one found at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Shatin.
Thank you for this great giveaway! :)
Wat Phra Keaw in Bangkok, Thailand.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Phra_Kaew
:D
I think the Guggenheim Museum in New York would be a great addition :)
cool PostCarden :D
i suggest Sultan Abdul Samad Building http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_Abdul_Samad_Building
the Borobudur temple - Indonesia :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borobudur
I highly recommend my workplace, the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh. It's the tallest academic building in the western hemisphere (2nd in the world) and very iconic!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_learning
Kinkakuji (the Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto, Japan!!!!!
Sleeping Beauty's Castle At Disneyland...it would be magical..
National Cathedral in D.C. :)
Sydney Opera House
Wooden houses in Old Rauma (UNESCO site)
Ofcourse the one of the greatest building here. "Manila Central Post Office" :)
I like Malacca UNESCO city in Malaysia to featured in this great card! XD Either the A'Famosa gateway or the Stadhuys Building. :D
Another idea, Coliseum from Rome is nice too! ^_^
Normally I am a big booster for my hometown, and would say something like Government House, or the Castillo de San Marcos. But for this, I think the Phillip Johnson Bank of America building in Houston would be perfect!
Banff Springs Hotel in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It's so picturesque, and would look beautiful as a Postcarden! :)
How cute miniature garden of Eden ♥ Lovely!
Not exactly a building but the skyline of Chicago with Grant Park as the garden would be interesting.
Amsterdam Central Station would be my choice. A quarter million people pass through there every day, most of which don't have time to notice how beatiful the building really is. I think it really says 'welcome to Holland' to all the tourists!
I think the Stockholm City Hall, it's a beautiful building from the beginning of the 1900, with an interesting story and with an amazing archetichture
I would say either Mall of America or the Hubert H Humphery Metrodome-both in Minnesota USA.
I guess Kota Tua Jakarta (Jakarta old city area) would be a perfect one :D
Palanga amber museum in Lithuania, surrounded by Botanical garden - it's amazing :)
Peterhof gardens and fountains are the surely the best in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Moscow ZOO is also worth beeing turned into cards.
The Colosseum in Rome
N Seoul Tower in South Korea :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_Seoul_Tower
i've bought a postcard in N Tower and sent it a few days ago
http://www.postcrossing.com/postcards/KR-20499
I think that a card should be made with the Lincoln Monument! That would be really cool!
Atomium, Brussel
So many peoples say about well-known buildings, but I think thait it should be a set of not-well-known buildings around the world.
For start, I think that they shold use image of former monastry in Wigry (north-east Poland). It is marvelous, still gives me creeps when I visit this place, surrounded by lakes and forests.
I would love to see St. John's Cathedral from 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands
Beautiful Centennial Hall in Wrocław!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Hall :)
St. Stephen's Basilica, Budapest
Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany!
Norway is a difficult one as the most beautiful thing is the nature, but I think a traditional cottage from the mountains with traditional fencing around and a cow and a goat by the fence would be awesome!
The castle Sanssouci in Potsdam/Brandenburg/Germany!
The best choice for PostCarden, cause the real garden in Sanssouci is in form of a terrace.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanssouci
Stockholm Globe Arena would be a challenge. Uppsala castle or Malmö Turning Torso would look nice.
I would love to see the Stanislas square in Nancy (France)in postcarden. Or Versailles castle!
Of cause the National Library of Belarus. It will be weird)))
I would like to see the Cathedral of Cologne!
i would like to see Puijo Tower in Kuopio :)
or just a traditional, red and tiny Finnish summer cottage.!
The Grand Place (main square) in Brussels would be great: not only for the beautiful architecture, but every other year a flowercarpet is layed out on the square. The greenery in the matchcard would link to the real life carpet :)
I think the Rock Garden of Chandigarh can be made into one :) It's a sculptured garden made entirely out of recyclable urban & industrial waste.
The new Fine Arts Museum, Bilbao
I live close to Heidelberg in South Germany, so I can't help suggesting Heidelberg's famous Castle :-)
Aachen Cathedral - it's one of the oldest in Germany and it would be great to see it with a garden around :)
not a building BUT our famous mountain! matterhorn! ;)
The church St. Michaelis in Hamburg, Germany
a hayrack (kozolec) :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayrack
Intramuros in Manila :D
The Royal Palace of Amsterdam ^^
The Tower of London would make a great PostCarden!
Stage of Vingis park in Vilnius, Lithuania, or presidental palace :)
The Finlandia house from Helsinki, Finland. :)
I like the idea!
From my hometown it can be Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, the biggest in Russia with special form of cupola.
Hey there!
I'm from Switzerland...and honestly I didn't spontaneousley know any building really typical for Switzerland. BUT I really enjoy Lenzburg castle. I work there from time to time, too. (Images: http://www.schlosslenzburg.ch/index.asp)
Or Wildegg castle - as this castle has a really nice garden with different vegetables, flowers and so on. ;-)
What would also be nice is the Bundeshaus. (This is the building where our parlament is placed.)
The Colosseo in Rome! Green where there were cruel games once!
ps. 'my' country is Italy where i am moving back in 1 month
Those are so cute! My vote for an addition from this country would be the Porta Nigra!
It would be so fantastic to have a PostCarden card with old Estonian farmhouse with staw roof. Like this one http://www.evm.ee/tuur/est/jyrijaagu/
Gediminas tower in Vilnius, Lithuania. You could grow plants not in front it, but on it (bucause its a tower with open roof).
I suggest Brussels Town Hall (Grand Place).
The Dom in Utrecht, just beautiful!
Tammerkoski rapids, maybe you could even pour the water like rapids. :D
In Melbourne, Luna Park with the garden and the face's tongue or for Australia Parliment House Canberra being shaped like a boomerang there could be two gardens, one between the arms and one on the roof where te is actually a lawn and you can walk down the arms to the front of the building.
It's got to be Chatsworth House for the UK- known for their fantastic gardens and the huge cascade water feature :-D
I live by Orlando, Florida, so I am going to have to say Disney's Cinderella Castle
I think Mount Rushmore would look really nice with a garden around it. I know that it is not a building but it would look great. If not that then I think the Empire State Building would also look great.
The Clock Tower in Sighișoara, Romania - because it is a symbol of one of the few fortified towns which are still inhabited; and they don't seem to have a clock tower in the collection yet, let alone a medieval clock tower :)
My first idea is the Potala-Palace in Lhasa / Tibet. Out of my German roots I suggest Sanssouci-Castle (from the garden side) in Potsdam. And as I live in the Netherlands I go for the old Grachten-buildings in Amsterdam.
What a wonderful thing to receive in the mail! I think a scape of "old" Montreal would make an excellent PostCarden / MatchCarden.
Kharkiv Opera House.
I'll go for 'Turun linna' - a medieval castle located in the city Turku, Finland.
wrest park silsoe bedfordshire uk
A typical Dutch mill
The botanic garden in Curitiba (Brazil) would be a great MatchCarden, as there are so many beautiful plants there as well. :D
Chios casino in Cluj, Romania! it's a lovely place to see!
http://stiupoker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Casino-Chios-Cluj-Napoca1.jpg
The Robevi family house in Ohrid, Macedonia. Great rchitecture! :)
The Robevi family house in Ohrid, Macedonia. Great architecture! :)
any ancient building in Lviv is just perfect for this amazing idea))))
Well I would like to see if they could do Diocletian's palace in Split (an UNESCO site). :-)))
The Saint Jan's church (Sint Jan kerk) in Den Bosch or the mills at Kinderdijk, would be great!
I would love to see the Statue of Liberty.
Monument on Afsluitdijk
The castle of Mir, Belarus.
Urnes stave church in Norway (an UNESCO site).
If I could pick more than 1 building; the centre of Ålesund (build in Art Nouveau style).
Washington Monument
I'd like to see The Dome of Cologne.
the Cathedral of Cologne - it would be nice if the minster get a big green garden in front of it ;-)
looks medieval
St.Anne's Church in Vilnius. I think it is most beautiful church in Lithuania.
General Post Office in Dublin!
D. Luis Bridge in Porto :D
Hmm.. I think Tallinn Town Hall, Estonia:)
Coliseum or Arena di Verona would be really nice *__*
The Dutch State Museum (Rijksmuseum) in Amsterdam would be nice I think! :)
I guess it would be Main Post Office in Minsk :)
Saint Jean cathedral in Lyon, France ! I love this building ! ;-)
i'd love to see any of the beautiful houses on the 'keizersgracht' in amsterdam. preferably with canal included. that would be stellar.
I'd like to see Pena National Palace (Portugal). It's very beautiful!
The Hagiab Sofia Mosque in İstanbul Turkey.
Palace Noord-einde, The Netherlands
The Anping Fort,the Chihkan Tower,the Eternal Golden Castle and the Old Tait & Co.Merchant House in Tainan,Taiwan.

The New York Public Library
The Sultan Abdul Samad bulding in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. :)
The old-styled houses in Pulau Ubin, Singapore. When you think Singapore, often you think of what a beautiful and clean city it is, and places of the past are forgotten, or simply ignored(well, unless they're colonial buildings). These kampung houses may not be designed by brand-name architects, but they are built by those who are just as important- the people :)
http://www.google.com.sg/search?q=pulau+ubin+houses&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=709
The Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada. It actually already has lots of ivy growing on it and so would probably go well with the little plants.
The Vancouver Public Library in Vancouver, Canada because it already has a garden on top
I would love to see Sanssouci palace in Potsdam or the Cathedral of Cologne in Germany would also be nice :)
The station from Uelzen, Germany. It is designed from the late architect Hundertwasser. It has got a fairy tale style and also at Hundertwasser- houses are growing trees.
For the postcarden I'd chose the "blühendes Barock" park in Ludwigsburg, Germany. http://www.blueba.de/
If I had to choose a building, I would either pick the "Kölner Dom" (cologne cathedral) or the Hercules monument in Kassel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_monument_(Kassel)
:D
Greetings fom UKRAINE!
I think it should be turned into a MatchCarden the "Golden Gate" - a symbol of capital of Ukraine the city of Kiev (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate,_Kiev).
Everybody in Ukraine knows this building because it has great history.
They should turn Neeltje Jans into a postcarden - the storm surge defense part of the Delta Works.

"Palacio de Oriente" in Madrid, Spain. A beautiful Royal palace :)
I've already suggested a famous building, but the more I think about it, the more I think the MatchCarten should represent mailboxes around the world. Wouldn't it be fun to have a tiny mailbox surrounded by green on your desk to brighten the day?
The Grand Palace in Bangkok for postcarden. That would be cool! :)
I would suggest the Brandenburger Tor (gate) in Berlin or the Zeche Zollverein in Essen... these would be nice
Buckingham Palace London
I would like to see a postgarden of Mount Vernon, home of George Washington, first president of the USA. This beautiful house has been fully restored and is located in northern Virginia, near Washington, DC.
The Jakarta Cathedral Church, Istiqlal Mosque, and Monas from Indonesia. That's how we show diversity from our country :)

THe world largest spherical building.

Wow, this is so lovely. My desk is definitely in need of this beautiful building which stands in my historic Dutch home town Nijmegen, it is the old market house on the main market square: http://www.ws-neuburg.de/cms/upload/Nijmegen/waag-nijmegen.jpg (called "De Waag") If this building will be on my desk, the papers cluttering around will be the market goods, that every evening should be sold & found a new home, so that I can peacefully go to sleep every night :)

The Gateway Arch!
I'm living next to Ulm, Germany - and of course the highest churchsteeple in the world would fit as a postgarden! :)
PS: The highest churchsteeple belongs to the Ulmer Minster, Ulm's Cathedral.
St. Anne's Church, Vilnius, Lithuania.
Golden Gate Bridge
The Palace of Culture and Science, Warsaw, Poland
Sagrada Familia, Barcelona :) I always adore it ^^
Torre de Belém, Lisboa, Potugal!

Best regards, Michelle, Cape Town, South Africa
St. Anne's church in Vilnius, Lithuania ;)
In holland, where I was born, is the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It has a bike and pedestrian lane going under it, sort of like a tunnel.
I guess we from the Netherlands have the same ideas, which building we would prefer!
The Evoluon (Eindhoven), the soccer stadium from PSV. (Eindhoven) The Dom tower (Utrecht), the Martini tower (Groningen)or even a windmill, all very Dutch and very famous (in the Netherlands)
The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA!
