Futuristic BP Gas Station Lands in LA

We have seen the future of gas stations, and it's very artistic. Now if only more buildings in Los Angeles looked like this... Additional pictures after the jump.
What had once been a decaying, dingy, low-rent gas station and more recently a white-tented behemoth was today unsheathed to reveal a slick, brand new, stunningly designed… gas station. But not just any gas station. With its slick metallic surfaces and geometric angles, this is the gas station of the future.

So...what's so futuristic about it? I don't see how it is better than a non-futuristic gas station.

Wow, adding geometric ducts to a sh*t gas station really improves it...
