The portable gas station designed by Jean Prouvé incorporated into the Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).

Nice.

The only criticism I have is that in the first rendered photomontage image, the background scene seems to be set in cloudy weather, so your model should be lit accordingly.

The second one is flawless.

I don't understand the concept of a "portable" gas station. Sure, I guess the building can be moved, but what about the gas? Don't they normally require pretty substantial (underground) tanks?

Edumacate me, please.

Silence! Maybe it was a oops Hellnbak.

@ L8Sunrise,

Well let's say its partly cloudy, partly sunny, that's Germany weather

@ Hellnback,

Jean Prouvé, had tested new forms and subjects in 1960s, to conceive these easy to assembled or disassembled and transportable stations-services to the liking of traffic, for the society Total. Wether it is a good or bad idea, just remember how the year 2000 was figured out back in the late 50s.

Anyway, thanks for comments.

Steve, I was wondering the same thing. I suppose you can have tanker trucks accompanying the portable gas station. Nice rendering, Elmer.

Thanks for comment Daniel.
Yeah, I think tanks could be portable too but still a weird idea isn'it
