Arbre Blanc is the chosen name for this one of a kind creation. The structure is to resemble the crown of a tree, essentially white in color, but rich with suspended foliage. The futuristic complex will come to life in the south of France, led by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, winner of the “La Folie Architecturale de Ritcher” contest with this decisively innovative design.
