Un voyage en douceur à travers l’âge d’or du voyage en voiture, en examinant son impact culturel et architectural sur le monde. La culture de la route et du voyage en voiture est sans doute mieux reétée par les lieux fixes que l’on trouve le long de la route. Christopher Beanland parcourt ces environnements construits dans le monde entier, dont le seul but est de répondre aux besoins des voitures et de ceux qui les conduisent, et examine ce qui les rend si séduisants. Illustré par 65 photographies époustouantes, Architecture + Cars explore tous les aspects de la vie, des styles brutalistes des stations-service classées au oyaume-Uni aux drive-thrus excentriques et colorés que l’on trouve aux États-Unis. Si vous vous intéresse aux églises autobahn d’Allemagne, aux raisons pour lesquelles Ed uscha s’est senti attiré par la peinture de stations-service, ou si vous apprécie simplement l’esthétique de l’architecture centrée sur la voiture à travers le monde, ce livre est fait pour vous. ous y trouvere également des essais sur des suets plus larges tels que les panneaux de signali- sation, les drive-in malls et les retail parks, les voitures au cinéma et les routes qui n’ont amais exis- té. Cette dernière plongée architecturale de Christopher Beanland se concentre principalement sur le e siècle, avec un regard optimiste sur l’avenir : il faut espérer que l’existence des véhicules électriques annoncera un nouvel « ge d’or » plus vert pour les voitures

Christopher Beanland is a journalist, comedy writer, and author who specializes in architecture and travel writing. He is the author of Station: A Journey through 20th and 21st Century Railway Architecture and Design, City Parks: A Stroll around the World's Most Beautiful Public Spaces, and Unbuilt: Radical Visions of a Future That Never Arrived.
A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.
The culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.
Illustrated with 65 stunning photographs, Architecture For Cars explores everything from the brutalist fashions of listed UK petrol stations to the quirky and colourful drive-thrus found across the US. If you're interested in the autobahn churches of Germany, why Ed Ruscha felt drawn to painting gas stations, or you just enjoy the aesthetics of car-centric architecture across the globe, this book is for you.
Also included are essays on wider topics such as roadside signs, drive-in malls and retail parks, cars on film, and roads that never were. This latest architectural deep-dive from Christopher Beanland focuses mainly on the 20th century, with an additional optimistic look towards the future: hopefully an electric vehicle-led existence will herald a new, greener 'golden age' for cars.
