Campus Constellation starts by focusing on the potential of the Hyperloop, as its exceptional speed can free architecture and the city, which have always been impacted by limited proximity. The project believes that by dissolving the constraints caused by distance and time, the hierarchy of the existing urban system can be dismantled and decentralized. Based on such concept, the proposed campus design aims to create a non-centered relational order by eliminating the conventional subordination of relationships among existing programs and connecting them, thanks to the high-tech transit system. It will emancipate the geographical restriction and conventional determinants of architecture in cities and thus will provide a new vision of nomadic way of urbanism.
