巴特莱特建筑学院毕业生Cassidy Reid设计了一个“超级回路”高速交通网络，在欧洲建立起基础设施和文化走廊，缩短了人们的出行时间。

Bartlett School of Architecture graduate Cassidy Reid has designed a concept for a high-speed transport network based on Hyperloop to create infrastructural and cultural corridors across Europe, and shrink travel time between cities.

Reid利用新开发的高速超回路列车形成一个巨大的欧洲交通网络，其将伦敦与克拉科夫连接起来，途中穿越布鲁塞尔、科隆、法兰克福、布拉格，使欧洲各国间的文化交流变得更加便捷，同时也带动发展暂为缓慢的贫困地区。

“超级回路”交通系统是特斯拉汽车公司、PayPal公司和太空探索公司SpaceX的创始人Elon Musk等企业家们的共同愿景。该系统采用与日本mag-lev技术相似的思路，但其中的列车不同于传统列车，利用磁悬浮技术减少轨道与车轮之间的摩擦。

Connecting London to Krakow in just one hour and ten minutes, and passing through Brussels, Cologne, Frankfurt and Prague, Reid's Pan-European Corridor network leverages newly developed Hyperloop technology to make Europe's cultural corridor easily commutable while also helping to connect deprived communities that have been "left behind" by globalisation.
Hyperloop is the vision of entrepreneur Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors, PayPal and space exploration company SpaceX. The system employs mag-lev — the same technology that is used by high-speed trains in Japan – in which the electromagnetic levitation of the train means there is no friction, unlike traditional trains that run on tracks.

2013年首次推出“超级回路”概念的 Musk公司后来将资源开放，不再直接参与开发过程。

在Reid的超级列车的总体规划中，人口最多、最多样化的总站位于伦敦，其整合于泰晤士河上的一座桥梁上，这里被称为高速12号轨道码头，目的是“激发欧洲主要城市之间的空间流动感”。

Musk, who first unveiled the concept for Hyperloop in 2013, later open-sourced the technology and is no longer directly involved in its development.
In Reid's Hyperlink masterplan, the corridor's most populous and diverse terminus would be located in London. Integrated into a bridge on the River Thames, the high-speed twelve-track terminal is designed to "evoke a space-bending feeling of connectivity between other European major cities".

在Reid的表现图中，伦敦的终点站设置在Waterloo桥的东边，位于将在2022年建成的伊丽莎白女王白金盛典的中心区域。

Reid在巴特莱特建筑学院第14单元Dirk Krolikowski和Evan Greenberg教授的课程组，该设计是其五年课程学习的最后一项研究任务。

而今年，第14单元课程组鼓励学生探索使用创新技术，并通过设计推动整个欧洲的文化发展。Krolikowski和Greenberg说，建筑的发展对整个欧洲的城市结构都将产生一定影响。

In Reid's renderings, the London terminal is imagined to the east of Waterloo Bridge and depicted at the centre of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant in the year 2022.
Reid designed the project during the 5th and final year of her architecture course at the Bartlett, where she was part of Dirk Krolikowski and Evan Greenberg's Unit 14.
This year, Unit 14 students were encouraged to explore the use of innovative technologies in order to leverage design and speculate on cultural change throughout Europe. Krolikowski and Greenberg said their unit produces "architectures which have the potential to disrupt and augment what we think we know about Europe".

Reid称其超级列车的总体规划是“欧洲在经济、社会和政治上的连接体”，并认为这条路线将有可能成为欧洲自由贸易运动的中坚力量。同时他还表明：“希望这种交通设施能够对城市的发展产生影响，为政府、城市、企业间创造新的联系，开辟发展的新机遇。”

Reid claim's her Hyperlink masterplan is an "attempt to economically, socially and politically bridge Europe" and believes that the route would have the potential to become the backbone of free trade and movement in Europe.
"It is hoped that this continental intervention could be a catalyst for change," said Reid. "The creation of new access routes opening up new opportunities for governments, cities, businesses and individuals."

她补充说：“这个提案表明了欧洲可以因新兴技术的创新去预测未来的发展方向。如果得以实现，这些操作将融合欧洲的边界，并使欧洲重新复兴。随着时间的推移，这个不断延伸的交通系统将连接各个城市，并解决一些落后地区的发展问题。”

"The proposal forecasts a future in which Europe can sit as a result of emerging technologies. These advancements will hypothetically disintegrate European borders and 'make Europe great again," she added.
"Over time this extended network would become a net, stitching cities together and hopefully addressing the 'left behind' areas of rural, economic isolation whose dissatisfaction with globalisation is tearing the continent apart."
