Technology is advancing at accelerating rates which results a change in the way human functions. Due to rapid urbanization and high influx of humans, cities are in a resurgence in population growth which aides the transportation systems to simultaneously expand, improve and innovate. The resultant effects aims to have intercity travel becoming faster, safer, cheaper and more convenient. We haven't had a major new form of transport in 100 years, and we are due for one, especially a technology that is ultra-fast, cheaper, on-demand, direct, energy efficient, emission-free, quiet and has a smaller foot print than other high-speed transport modes. A growing economy requires a faster, cheaper, safer and more efficient transportation mode. With the introduction of novel concept of Hyperloop and High Speed Railway as a mean of travel, a newfound interest has been sparkled regarding the future of mass transit systems.

The means of inter and intra city movements is a critical element for defining a cities physical, economical and social characteristics. Mass transit systems are vital not only for a smooth functioning of the city, but also creating its identity. The novel concept of Hyperloop and High speed railway being at the innovation forefront for the transportation system in India, should be complemented with a technologically advanced and optimised built form, The Hyperloop & HSR transportation Hub.

Being a research oriented design project, the thesis aims for research and development of infrastructure of a Hyperloop & HSR Transfer Hub as a mixed use development project, integrating innovation in design approach and technology by using computational design as a medium.
