TANKE

Graphic Design - Magazine 2021

For us, one thing became clear early on: colorful magazines are an essential part of every gas station. It was therefore only natural that our master’s thesis TANKE – Transformation of Inner-City Gas Stations would also need its own magazine.

Our publication is a homage to the gas stations we discovered in and around Berlin. It explores these places from a wide range of perspectives, featuring interviews with experts from different fields, investigations into the potential role of gas stations in the future of mobility, mappings and visual analyses, and the three speculative transformation scenarios for gas stations developed throughout our thesis.

Rather than seeing gas stations merely as functional infrastructure, we were interested in documenting their unique atmospheres, aesthetics, and cultural significance through photography.

The magazine ultimately presents these often overlooked places through a different lens, shedding new light on their hidden potential and revealing the extraordinary qualities of these everyday spaces.
