AJA Architecture Week 2024

It is the future! And imagine you are visiting the island for the first time. What would it be like? You explore the island, see the sites, explore the coast, see how people live, and how the kids have fun. You walk into a souvenir shop and browse the postcard carousel. One postcard stands out. Why does it catch your eye? Does It tells a story of the island you want to share, is it colourful? like the sunsets, is it funny? beautiful? does it show something amazing on the island you saw, or visited? You have a chance to make the postcard you imagine!

To help, you need to first think about what the future is like? Has the island made a monument out of their cars and decided it is much better to cycle everywhere? Are cows given equal rights and freely roam? Did the island just decide to plant flowers everywhere? Is the top of the dome of fort regent a nice place to ride a bike, did you instead walk across the bridge to Guernsey! I think first you can have some fun imagining a future. Then, you can send a post card from it.

The Architects of Jersey (The AJA) invite you to display your postcard at Art House Jersey in Capital House from October 10th-20th. You can drop by to place it on the wall where you can enjoy reading and looking at all the other postcards from lots of different futures.

Don't forget to sign your postcard, and in the bottom corner, write your school and class number!

Have Fun!
