Hyperloop-headquarters-architecture-competition

The video discusses an architectural competition that challenged young architects to design a beautiful and practical campus for the Hyperloop movement in the Mojave Desert. The winning design by Begum ID no glue, Mariana Custorio dos Santos, and Juan Carlos Narajo features a conceptual campus that rises smoothly from the desert floor. The design transforms the inhospitable Mojave Desert into an oasis with courtyards and water elements supporting greenery. The campus is flanked by solar panel farms for renewable energy and engineered for rainwater collection and gray water recycling.

What was the main challenge given to young architects in the competition?

• To build an underwater research facility

• To create a floating island

• To design a desert-located campus for the Hyperloop

• To design a skyscraper in a city

How does the design by Begum ID no glue and team differ from typical buildings?

• It is a series of rectangular blocks

• It rises gradually and smoothly from the desert floor

• It is built entirely underground

• It is a floating structure

What is the primary environmental feature of the Hyperloop test center?

• It is powered by wind turbines

• It has courtyards with water elements

• It is made of recycled materials

• It uses geothermal energy

What supports the growth of tall palm trees in the Hyperloop test center?

• Artificial sunlight

• Water elements in the courtyards

• Hydroponic systems
