The '[Innovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razer-ai-centre-of-excellence) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolves-lane-centre), 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.
