?? ARCHI-HACK GAS STATION

Hey there, design enthusiasts!

We’re excited to announce a bold new competition: ARCHI-HACK: GAS STATION. In this design challenge we ask?you to imagine the future of gas stations in a post-fossil-fuel world. With the energy transition reshaping our urban landscape, many gas stations will lose their original function. How would you reimagine these familiar yet obsolete structures?Whether you envision a social space, a cultural hub, or an eco-friendly repurposing, this is your chance to let creativity shine.

WHY HACK A GAS STATION?

Gas stations are more than mere fuel stops; they’re landmarks with iconic, functional designs. Now, as they approach obsolescence, they present an exciting opportunity for transformation. This competition encourages you to push boundaries with a single axonometric drawing that captures your unique vision. We’re not interested in construction details; instead, we want to see creative, conceptual designs that spark conversation about sustainable future.

WHAT MAKES THIS CHALLENGE UNIQUE?

Unlike other competitions, Archi-Hack focuses on axonometric projection, allowing you to explore architectural representation from an unconventional angle. Axonometric drawings are powerful storytelling tools that provide a clear yet abstract view of spatial relationships. This challenge invites you to experiment with this medium and reimagine what gas stations could represent in an era of sustainability.
