256 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 27 cm

"This is the ninth book from Marcello Minale, but his first to cover the subject of forecourt design. Minale is passionate about petrol stations which is reflected in this, his latest book. Heralded by The Times newspaper as a true force in the design world, his insight and wisdom developed by years of designing for the energy sector is second to none and his observations and comments offer a pertinent view of the opportunities and pitfalls involved." "He uses as examples only the best in forecourt design, both in terms of aesthetics and function, and the design story for each project is carefully explained and extensively illustrated with technical drawings, development concepts and final design solutions. The importance of branding is also discussed, being in Minale's view the key factor to differentiate the players in what is in essence a commodity industry." "Until now very little has been written on the subject of petrol station design despite the important role they play in modern day life. But it is all here in How to Design a Successful Petrol Station. Minale takes a colourful look at the complexities behind a construction that until recently has been taken for granted - an essential reference book for designers, architects, engineers, planners and anyone interested in the energy sector."--BOOK JACKET.
