Throughout our design explorations and research on gas stations, the main thing that I find most interesting is the relationship between the gas station itself and the associated programs. I want to explore the limits of these "extra" programs a see how they can effect and ultimately change the typical experience of today's gas stations. After the mid review, I realized that my associated program of cafe/wi-fi hot spot may not be the right program to really explore the potential for change of the gas station experience. I feel like I would get more interesting results by pushing the limit of this secondary program.
As for the connection to our readings, I have been trying to keep in mind Alison Smithson's ideas on the relationship between person, car, and road that she explains in AS in DS that was mentioned in the "Unbreathed Air" article. I think the experience of the station from within the car is an important one and keeping this in mind is key to my design.
