Service
stations have long been
a staple of modern road
networks, providing
fuel, repairs, and
convenience for
travellers. However, as
the automotive
landscape shifts
towards sustainability
and urban development
evolves, the
architecture and
prevalence of these
once-essential spaces
are changing.
During
the mid-20th century,
service stations were
designed not only as
functional spaces but
also as architectural
landmarks. Many early
service stations bore
the hallmarks of Art
Deco, Streamline
Moderne, and Googie
styles, reflecting the
optimism of a
car-centric culture.
