The concept of my gas station is to create an interesting visual for drivers as they come towards it in order to grab their attention. I think the most helpful process we have done in my case is the exploration between decoration/information/form. This made me realize how “ordinary” the average gas station has become to us today. I think a major idea that has contributed to my design is from the article “Unbreathed Air” when Alison and Peter Smithson discuss the connection between themselves and their car. The car becomes a new type of “being” controlled by humans but forcing us to react to and view certain things. The viewing range of a human because more defined while inside of a car and that is what my design for a gas station is focusing on.
