Marcel Breuer, apartment for a gymnastics teacher, Berlin, 1930

Breuer designed an apartment for Hilde Levi in 1930. The apartment was located on the ground floor of a house and consisted of a gymnastics studio and a much smaller living area outfitted with tubular steel furniture and a sleeping alcove. A sliding wall could be used to separate the two spaces if desired. The amenities provided for this apartment were reduced to the smallest footprint possible and included a lavatory, storage closet and a shower room, which also contained a “cooking cabinet.”

Sohn Kee-Chung (August 29, 1912 – November 15, 2002) became the first Korean athlete to win an Olympic medal when he won the gold medal in the Marathon in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In 1910, Korea had been annexed by the Japanese Empire, and remained under the control of Japan until Japan's defeat in World War II. The Japanese governor in Korea did not permit Sohn and his fellow Korean athletes to compete as Koreans; they participated in the games as a member of the Japanese delegation, with Japanese names. Sohn was registered under the name Son Kitai.The Korean people were overjoyed at the news that he had won the Gold Medal; however, many were angered by the fact that he had to use a Japanese name and wear a Japanese uniform. One newspaper in Seoul went so far as to remove the Japanese flag from his photo when they published the news, and eight members of the newspaper staff were later jailed by the colonial government for their act of defiance.
