Combustion Architecture
From exhibition description:
Cars are one of the most important achievements of 20th century technology. In just one hundred years, millions of kilometers of roads have been created for millions of cars, with new buildings growing next to them: petrol and service stations, garages, motels, restaurants, housing estates and even entire cities. The architecture related to automotive industry was initially full of grand projects and searching for new functional solutions.
The main element of the exhibition are mock-ups of gas stations, garages and vehicles. They show the changing tendencies in the design of automotive-related structures. From canister-shaped walls for Shell oil to a house made of Citroen 2CV parts. All exhibits are
connected by intricate but exciting roads… for toy cars.
