Hyper-Hook proposes a new transportation system that changes our perception of time as well as the urban landscape. Hyperloop, being the next generation of transportation, can shorten the traveling time from Miami to New York to half an hour. We were interested in how the highly-efficient hyperloop can be integrated with the traditional biking paths that could mitigate the traffic condition in Manhattan as well as connect the Red Hook to the city given its isolated transportation system. 

        Our ideas of two contrasting systems were tested through the analogue model with experimentation in distinct material qualities. The geometry and interactions between materials learnt from the model were translated into architecture. The space defined in the model were turned into programs including a biking ramp playground, a commercial tower, and a freight distribution center that responses to the industrial history and the current need of the community. 
       From the perspective of users, business travelers arrived in the hub will be transferred to downtown with existing riverfront bike trails while local residents will benefit from the distribution center and the commercial programs in the hub. The juxtaposition of users and transportation types creates a complex and vibrant system that alters our perceptions of time, space, and urban lifestyle.
