Gdansk, city on the Baltic coast, has a strong economic influence thanks to its maritime dimension. Little and poorly served by large cities like Hamburg, Berlin or Warsaw, Gdansk sees its industry wither, giving way to many wastelands, abandoned buildings or destroyed.

The strategic position of a station, between city and industry, would reinvigorate the industrial zone and improve the movement of the inhabitants, as tourists on the scale of the Polish territory, then Europeans.

In a futuristic and utopian vision where the world will undergo great technological upheavals, time and distance will no longer be a limit.

Known as the fifth means of transport after the plane, the train, the car, and the boat, the Hyperloop transports its users in magnetically powered capsules, inside a low-pressure tube, to more than 1100 km / h. From there, 17 minutes will be enough to reach Warsaw or 31 minutes to Berlin.

Between the vastness of the territory they cross and the crampedness in which they travel, the capsules will receive both passengers and shipping containers that will allow the reallocation of the old shipyard buildings. The strict direction given by the tubes across the territory, installs a perspective from the station to the bank opposite and generates a park. Thus creating a landscape link between the Museum of Solidarnosc and that of the Second World War.

Generated by the dimensions of a container, the structure of the station structure, designed in concrete, is as obvious, while steel volumes, the same proportions, are slipping there or hanging there. These, arranged so as to create accidents in the facade, impose a dynamic within the rigid structure.

Located on the outskirts of the Rue de la Liberté, the station not only hosts boarding docks but also allows you to discover, share and experience the Hyperloop program, for future development around the world.

Thus, as coming from elsewhere and giving new perspectives to Gdansk, the building is a place of the emergence of ideas where everything becomes possible.
