The Bucky Bar

Spontaneous par­ties are the best. We know, we have spon­ta­neous dance par­ties at HighStreet weekly. Often while remer­chan­dis­ing, we find our­selves com­pelled by a fresh new song on the HighStreet sound­track, and we have to take a much deserved pause… and break it down. You know, no big deal.

DUS Architecten and Studio for Unsolicited Architecture feel the same way. Last month they cir­cu­lated a flyer for The Bucky Bar in Amsterdam, which read “A spon­ta­neous pub­lic build­ing… beers, umbrel­las and DJs Chrille Brun and Per Handsome.”

The firms built a Buckminster Fuller (inven­tor of the geo­desic dome) inspired struc­ture on a street cor­ner com­posed solely of orange umbrel­las, and threw a party. There were djs, drinks, and a bunch of cool peo­ple. 300 of them actu­ally hung around in the freez­ing cold to dance.

Now you have a spon­ta­neous party. With or with­out umbrel­las. Then come by HighStreet and share.
