The Bauhaus school was on the cutting edge of design in the early twentieth century, but the rise of the Nazi party put an end to modern art in Germany. Adolf Hitler favored classical Greek art, believing it embodied an inner racial ideal, and abhorred the kind of abstract art the Bauhaus was known for. The school was shuttered in 1933, just before the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
This project imagines a second Berlin Olympics one century later. It aims to project an image of a new, more accepting Germany while also looking back at what could have been. Had the Nazis not risen to power and halted all artistic innovation, would we have seen a modern Bauhaus style Olympic Games?
