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!

Another idea, Coliseum from Rome is nice too! ^_^

on
stellaluna13, United States of America

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!

on

on
Saintois, Belgium

Atomium, Brussel

on
Kazmierz, Poland

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.

on

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!

on
Helmyne, Germany

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

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 :)

on

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.

Non_gogoa, Spain

The new Fine Arts Museum, Bilbao

MrsFuchur, Switzerland

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)

What would also be nice is the Bundeshaus. (This is the building where our parlament is placed.)

Tammerkoski rapids, maybe you could even pour the water like rapids. :D

on
Kisabel, Australia

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.

maggmurp, United States of America

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.

on
irinao, Romania

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 :)

on
nehalennia, Netherlands

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.

on
wunderland, Canada

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.

on
verlustangst, Malaysia

The Sultan Abdul Samad bulding in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. :)

on
zonkedzebu, Singapore

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 :)

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 :)

KanneKerstin, Germany

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.

on
p__ty, Germany

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

on
UkraPost, Ukraine

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.

on
elwingelfje, Netherlands

"Palacio de Oriente" in Madrid, Spain. A beautiful Royal palace :)

on
Zmrzlina, United States of America

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?

on

The Grand Palace in Bangkok for postcarden. That would be cool! :)
