The Bucky Bar is a canopy made up of, you guessed it, umbrellas. I was going to make a Rihanna pun, but I think I'll just tell you a little more about the Bucky Bar. This [collapsible canopy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novara) was created to celebrate the 'Architecture of Consequence' exhibition at the Netherlands Architecture Institute. I never knew umbrellas partied so hard.
