BUCKY BAR
Witte de Withstraat, Centrum, Rotterdam, Netherlands
BUCKY BAR MANIFEST
“Coming down with the Dow
Jones, When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella (…) under an umbrella..
ella ella”
Jay-Z -and Rihanna get it straight, in times of crisis, we need to find
shelter. The umbrella is the simplest form of shelter, a personal, private, and
dry space in a soggy world. If one umbrella is a private space, what happens
when we join 10 together, or 100?
Buckminster Fuller showed us how minimal energy domes could open a way
to a more environmentally sustainable future, could an
umbrella dome lead the way to a more socially sustainable
future?
The Bucky Bar is a full-scale model of such a future. A spontaneous
public building made from the most common of materials, assembled with the
resourcefulness of skill of architects. It shows the power of space for
spontaneous gathering, for improvised shelters to host conversations, debates,
games or even parties.
The Bucky Bar launches
the DUS / SUA unsolicited agenda for the City of Rotterdam as part of
the Architecture of Consequence exhibit at the Netherlands Architecture
Institute. Look out for the video of our other unsolicited proposals for
the City of Rotterdam in the exhibition and at the world wide web!
