Ancienne station de carburant

In the post-war period, the growing prominence of automobiles in daily life led to the development of related industrial forms across the landscape. The modernization of road networks was accompanied by the construction of repair garages and service stations, which emerged as independent architectural programs by the 1920s. Serving as landmarks and rest stops for travelers, these service stations provided essential assistance in case of vehicle breakdowns. Their symbolic importance resulted in architects and engineers adopting distinct, totemic designs that made them easily recognizable within the surrounding environment.
