In 2018, UNStudio is thinking of the future with its concept for adaptable hyperloop stations. Such means of transportation would entail that passengers can get from point A to point B in semi-vacuum tubes with a speed as fast as 700 miles per hour. This will surely cut down time on the daily commute.
UNStudio debuts its hyperloop stations at the HyperSummit, organized by tech and transport company Hardt Hyperloop. Based in Europe, the project envisions a framework made from tessellating components that will allow the station to be "adapted and expanded to fit into various locations." Thanks to the modular component of UNStudio's concept, the hyperloop stations can be assembled and arranged to be integrated within the tightest urban landscapes. In addition, the firm designs its stations to be solar powered.
