Berlin

Berlin I feel was a tipping point of the course, going opened up my eyes to the art and culture Germany has to offer. During the stay visiting the olympic stadium was something i wanted to do, as my project involves sport and the history of where sport came from. The berlin games in  1936 still has a dark cloud hanging over it due to the dominance of the gestapo and party in charge.

The stadium held 100,000 spectators, 75 new olympic buildings including the Olympic pool. The games had been handed to Berlin before the Nazis came to power but it was now a perfect opportunity for Hitler to demonstrate to the world how efficient Nazi Germany had become.


Buddy Bear this was the Olympic Mascot what was striking was the amount of different patterns as seen on the left picture. I can imagine the bears being good commercially, and that they relate to many people.

Berlin stadium this seemed haunted because of the lettering.

An Olympic medal is awarded to successful competitors at the Olympic Games. There are three classes of medal: gold awarded to the winner; silver awarded to the 1st runner-up; and bronze awarded to the 2nd runner-up. The granting of awards is laid out in detail in the Olympic protocolsMedal designs have varied considerably since the first Olympic Games in 1896, particularly in size and weight. The Sochi medals are a good example of how much Olympic designs have changed nowadays they are much heavier, 3d as well as 2d, have cut out sections and are again much larger.

Initial Ideas:
These are my initial ideas for medal designs, obviously they are similar to the medals given out at Sochi but medal designs are all increasing in size and have more detail than before.  The medals represent Brazil and their culture the statue of God is an icon in Rio, the Olympic rings representing togetherness of a nation and all the countries taking part.

• During my initial ideas I started thinking about the consequences of the Olympics in Rio , the games provide money and a boost in tourism but there are many bad things the games will bring to a community. 
• Guards and police clashes
• keeping the structures used after the games/expenses
• getting people into sport and funding
• Riots
• terrorism 

For some, the Games are a huge waste of public money. Originally estimated at a cost of £2.4bn, the budget had by 2007 ballooned to £9.3bn. Now that it looks likely to come in at just over £9.2b.
