Gas Station Concept

The driving concept in my design has come from doing the component study from the gas station that we choose. My gas station was the Seven Eleven in Downtown. From that I knew that I wanted my gas station to have a relationship to the street and that I wanted a relationship between the spaces. I picked electric cse it resource that produces the least amount of waste and I think it could be very beneficial for our future if people were to choose Electric cars. I am using the relationship between my electric car station and my cafe to create a "car-fe."

The readings have been helpful for studying construction methods and materials. I particularly enjoyed the reading that talked about buckminster fuller and how he had a very organized and mathematical process behind his designs that seemed to be derived behind how he constructed the spaces. Integrating construction so that it is a crucial part of the experience of the space is important.
