Abstract

There is a growing need for alternatives regarding aviation; the Hyperloop might offer a partial solution. However, there is a gap in knowledge, case studies and design concepts to investigate how the new system could be connected to aviation at airports. Such a space does not exist yet, and is therefore relatively undiscovered territory.

This brings up the following question: What kind of space do we need in order to make passenger exchange between Hyperloop and aviation possible, and what does that look like in architectural terms?
