The term "gas station" was included in the annals of history more than 100 years ago. In 1905, after many twists and turns, the world's first gas station was born in the United States, and its appearance sensationalized the world. Since then, with the rapid development and popularization of the automobile industry, gas stations have sprung up and gradually become part of the public life.

The gas station in the 1920s was mainly based on the design of a house-type gas station |

From 1940 to 1980, the “rectangular box” became the dominant design for gas stations. Although it has long since departed from the early innocence and simplicity, it is basically quite satisfactory. But at the gas station design has joined the convenience store, this design has become more and more popular since 1990, the products that can be purchased are: cigarettes, fast food, beer and lottery account for a large proportion of sales, but oil, wind Glass cleaning fluids, car washes, and even tire air are also sold.

This gas station. It is decorated with large stainless steel panels in a three-dimensional shape with a hard edge. The greenhouse is unique in that it collects rainwater and reuses it for irrigation. It is popular for its unique design and environmentally friendly use. There are only 90 solar panels on the roof, and these solar panels can be made for two or three ordinary American families. This is incredible! |
There is a McDonald's in this gas station, which is very attractive to all passing people. This is a very interesting glass shell shape. McDonald's is sitting on one side with a huge dome shape, and a huge canopy hovering over the other end of the building where the gas station is located. Even if the two are connected in the same building, the architects did an amazing job, making them feel separated. The dining area at Mc Donalds is surrounded by beautiful green grass and exquisite wooden tables and chairs. |
The two gas station designs listed above are only two of the examples for the design of a wide range of special gas stations, as well as ORALAL GAS STATION in Belgium and POPS ARCADIA on Route 66 in Oklahoma; Stations, whether in design or in the viewing point of the petrol station, are quite special, but the same also represents this culture.
