The main focus of the project was to give a new identity to a common gas station. We started analysing what are the main features of such a program and came up with the conclusion that the cannopy covering the fueling area is one of the iconic elements of gas stations. We envisioned a different type of cannopy, that would seem like hanging from the sky. The geometry of the cannopy was developed with Grasshopper and Kangaroo so that it would find its form just by hanging on the borders. The interior panneling was dubbed with an algorithm for developing apertures in each pannel to accomodate artificial illumination.
