Gesa petrol station, Madrid, Rationalist filling station in Chamberí, Spain.
The Gesa petrol station features clean lines and geometric shapes at number 18 Alberto Aguilera Street, with functional spaces for vehicle refueling and maintenance.
Architect Casto Fernández-Shaw constructed this filling station in 1927, during a period when Madrid was expanding its infrastructure for the growing number of automobiles.
The structure represents the introduction of rationalist architecture in Madrid's urban landscape, influencing the design of subsequent industrial buildings throughout the twentieth century.
This operational filling station provides fuel services, air compression for tires, and basic vehicle maintenance supplies in the northern section of central Madrid.
The building combines industrial functionality with architectural refinement through its concrete structure and symmetrical design elements characteristic of 1920s rationalist style.
