“Reimagining Gas Stations for a Colossal Thirst”
What if giants roamed our world, repurposing our infrastructure for their own needs?Â
Fuel for Giants humorously reinterprets gas stations as oversized drinking fountains for colossal beings. Instead of radically transforming their design, this project embraces their existing architectural form, simply shifting the perspective: fuel pumps become giant straws, and stations turn into refreshment points.
This ironic approach questions the need to reinvent everything at all costs. By maintaining the recognizable structure of gas stations, the project highlights the surreal contrast between scale and function, challenging conventional architectural thinking.
Through a playful yet critical lens, Fuel for Giants invites us to reconsider the way we perceive and repurpose urban spaces. If a small shift in perspective can make gas stations a source of hydration for giants, what other unexpected transformations could redefine our built environment?
