Gas stations are everywhere throughout the u.s. and they contain very distinct physical elements- a stand alone, cheap building, a canopy, huge underground resevoirs. this is the next bonanza in 25 years, perhaps. first railroads and waterfronts, now this. This project is the first green shoots. Nice find! this is really interesting. noting that throughout history we constantly repurpose infrastructure for a lighter use (kind of like energy degrades at each stage) and that is a big push in landscape architecture now to redesign post-industrial sites, i’ve been wondering how that little ubiquitous piece profiled here will be re-used when cars no longer use gasoline.
