Bjarke Ingels on Hyperloop One, and the global future of high-speed transit
We talked with Ingels and partner Jakob Lange about Hyperloop?s implications worldwide Though the deep ideological divisions dragged into the light by the recent U.S. presidential election aren?t likely to be resolved quickly, there is one thing about which most people seem to agree: the need for serious investment in the nation?s infrastructure.
What shape any such investment will take under the incoming administration?and what kinds of infrastructure, exactly, will be prioritized?is anyone?s guess, though there have been some hints in recent days.
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) reports that such investments are critical in all ?essential infrastructure,? from bridges to airports to railways. And the organization?s most recent infrastructure report card handed out a paltry D+ to the U.S. for its infrastructure.
A Hyperloop One tube could run from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.
But what about more futuristic modes of transit" Could we get our own Hyperloop?the pressurized-tube transportation system proposed by Tesla cofounder Elon Musk" A Hyperloop would, for example, make travel between New York and Washington, D.C. faster and more efficient (and maybe safer and cheaper, too).
We talked to architect Bjarke Ingels, founder and creative partner of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) as well as his partner, and head of BIG ideas, Jacob Lange?who developed the ideas for Hyperloop One?to chat about what can be done to better such a score.
