basket tree by A/LTA architects
image © s. chalmeau + a/LTA architectsA/LTA architects members jean-luc le trionnaire, alain tassot, maxime le trionnaire, gwénaël le chapelain have designed 'arbre à basket' / a basket tree that has been positioned in front of the maison des hommes et des techniques in nantes, france on june 15, 2012.
the artistic installation offers a new type of sports equipment that can be used by anybody! many people can play simultaneously. the hoops branchesat different heights allow a play for multiple teams of different age groups. just because everybody knows the rules of basket, it doesn’t mean you can’t invent new ways of playing it.
