One of the key visual themes that runs through all the design work is the concept of "The banality of evil." The show uses this idea in every way possible to hold up a mirror to the present and show how each person makes moral choices, and how some are so easily willing to choose authoritarianism and fascism. Season three provided opportunities to expand the world of John Smith as he rises through the German Reich. A way to show the banality of evil through a penthouse apartment. This new big stage build for John Smith's character allowed an exploration of what a high-end Nazi colonial state administrator's apartment might look like. The interior set for Smith's apartment was built based on the Guinness building, which is a mid- century office building in Vancouver that was selected to play for the exterior. The interior set was built on a 6-foot platform and has a 200-foot wraparound day/night backing with an alternative New York skyline. J.C. Backings A B C
