Elon Musk’s vision of the Hyperloop — a lightning-fast transportation system that would shuttle passengers at speeds nearing 700-mph using low pressure tubes and air compressors — is slowly coming to fruition in the Nevada desert.
In fact, the first ever Hyperloop tubes are neatly lined up in a ditch, waiting to be assembled and then later tested by Hyperloop Technologies at a site in North Las Vegas.

The design of the Hyperloop—an iterative, multi-team process which Archinect investigated in-depth last year—will have another big leap forward during the "Hyperloop Design Weekend" this upcoming January 29-30th at Texas A&M University.
However, while CEO of Hyperloop Technologies Rob Lloyd describes the opaque, depressurized tubular architecture of the technology as being "actually very simple", the renderings in the video below feature some highly stylized, winged structural accompaniments, making one wonder what the winners of potential future design competitions for the Hyperloop's transit stations will look like.
