GASOLINERA MODULAR
Una coberta, unes llums, un punt de referencia. Un espai per carregar energies. Les gasolineres van ser un camp d’experimentació, on lleugeres cobertes en voladiu havien de exhibir el seu esforç estructural, competint amb els flamants dissenys dels vehicles. Van ser un símbol de la vida moderna, un escenari quotidià de la conquesta dels cotxes i la velocitat, l’eficiència i la funcionalitat.
"It was beautiful in Longmont. Under a tremendous old tree was a bed of green lawn-grass belonging to a gas station. I asked the attendant if I could sleep there, and he said sure; so I stretched out a wool shirt, laid my face flat on it, with an elbow out, and with one eye cocked at the snowy Rockies in the hot sun for just a moment. I fell asleep for two delicious hours, the only discomfort being an occasional Colorado ant. And here I am in Colorado! I kept thinking gleefully. Damn! damn! damn! I'm making it!"
Jacques Kerouac, On the road (1957)
