Apparently, the design has zero straight walls and would be powered by a personal natural gas energy supply in case of a power outage. Jobs proposed the idea to the Cupertino City Council and plans on opening the office in 2015. The capacity of the building holds 12,000 employees and boasts a cafeteria with the potential to hold 3,000 people at one time. With this many Apple workers under one roof, who knows what the creative minds behind concepts like the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-icar-concept) and [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-tech-products) will come up with next. The Steve Jobs Apple Campus is sure to hone the skills of numerous employees all working to create the technology of the future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extraterrestrial Architecture:** The concept of building structures with zero straight walls opens up opportunities for innovative and unique designs. - **Self-sustaining Energy:** Utilizing a personal natural gas energy supply as a backup power source presents opportunities for self-sustainability and reducing reliance on traditional power grids. - **Collaborative Spaces:** Creating a workplace that can accommodate thousands of employees in one location encourages collaboration and idea sharing, leading to potential breakthrough innovations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can explore unconventional building forms and incorporate unique design elements in their projects. - **Energy and Utilities:** Companies in the energy sector can explore opportunities for developing self-sustaining energy solutions using alternative power sources like natural gas. - **Technology and Electronics:** The large-scale Apple Campus can inspire technology companies to create collaborative workspaces that foster innovation and creativity among their employees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patent-Inspired Tech Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-car-concept.md) - [360-Degree Maneuverable Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-twoseater-pod.md) - [Tech Brand Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-ava-concept.md) - [Sculpted Tech Brand Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-icar-concept.md) - [Sleek Tech Brand Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drone.md) - [Tech Brand Tractor Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-tractor-pro.md) - [Tree-Inspired Panelled Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-design-studio.md) - [Campus-Based Cylindrical Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirage.md) - [Creative-Centric RV Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rv-office.md)
