The idea of converting and repurposing buildings is increasingly coming to the fore and with it the examination of architectural types and their potential. This publication examines the architectural development of the petrol station building type, which is significantly influenced by changes in transport infrastructure, mobility, consumer behaviour, ecological awareness and the aesthetic zeitgeist. In city centres today, the facilities are often unused. The book invites to reflect on the future of petrol station architecture. The examination with the thematic complex petrol station helps to understand its significance and role as part of the historical and cultural heritage and at the same time to find approaches that renegotiate the future of the typology.
