Tackle the type: FILLING STATION
Next Station (Summary)
The conference discusses the development and significance of filling stations as a building type, which emerged with the rise of the automobile industry. Filling stations serve as a transitory point and can unify multiple spaces within a single location. "Tackle the Type" questions the future of filling stations as the transportation industry evolves and highlights the connections between filling stations and society, the environment, and architectural and industrial building history. It also raises questions about the cultural and environmental impact of the fossil fuel industry and the role of filling stations as an interface for our globalized market. In order to understand this specific type, the conference facilitates the understanding of its history and design elements and helps determine which elements are worth preserving for future building types.
