| 总结: | This article deals with the topic of gasoline and service stations in Mexico with particular attention given to the period after the expropriation of oil in 1936, when Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) was charged with regulating the industry. Through the revision of archival documents, plans and historical photographs, the author identifies the evolution of the gas station as well as a shift at the end of the 1930s with the opening of the Panamerican Highway between Laredo, Texas and Mexico City and the popularity of automobile travel that resulted in an expansión of services offered. Of particular interest to the autor is the question of formal expression which, it is argued, is derived from the proposal of the President Lázaro Cárdenas of a Mexican architecture associated with the image of the typical picturesque Mexican town which was manifest in works he promoted in his native state of Michoacán through public architecture and his own houses. |
