Architecture and design at work! The petrol station provides gas to motorists using this road or living here. The elegant building at the background depicts that a high class/ affluent community lives around here. The green trees show that the area receives adequate rains, or the residents probably irrigate them. The environment is kept neat and makes the surrounding of this building to appear quite beautiful. The local people who build such units have not been formally trained but have acquired the skill through working with specialist expartiates who come from other parts of the world. Eventually the local people gain experince, and make money from the paid employment which improves the way they live.

  1. A creative piece of architecture indeed! Every time I look at this building I feel the designer no doubt got inspiration from the American B52 stealth bomber! No wonder the grape vine has it that it is the intelligence headquarters. Very symbolic!

  2. Great choice of picture. I like the architecture and I believe it all has to do with the impact of where we live. To me it symbolizes a ship and thus must be near some coast.The ships at the coast must have influenced the architect.
