The Gen Z Gas Station

CONCEPTUAL | ENGAGING | FUTURE

Working with Formula E and fellow designer Patrick Kelly, we began to imagine what the near future might look like as electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity and how we might use public spaces to create viewing opportunities for fans across the country. By repurposing a gas station, fans could come together and engage in a bar-cade like atmosphere, see Formula E cars on display, and gather in a futuristic amphitheater to watch the race.
