World-renowned architecture firm MVRDV is all set to create an innovative and high-tech AI campus for the German municipality of Heilbronn, with everything from futuristic laboratories to startup incubator space, restaurants, a skatepark and meadows to be included in the massive circle-shaped space.
The 'Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence' will measure in at around 265,000 square meters and takes the form of a circular AI campus.
What's more, this circular AI campus will also be energy-efficient, and will make use of greenery-sheathed roofs, wind turbines and solar panels, with the potential inclusion of a geothermal system to boot.
This huge AI campus is being developed in partnership with LOLA Landscape Architects, Studio Animal-Aided Design, Realace, Thornton Tomasetti, Peutz Consult and Gruner Deutschland, making it a fine example of a range of experts in architecture, design, engineering and related fields coming together to create something truly spectacular.
