Sometimes there's architecture IN a film, and sometimes architecture is LIKE a film. But sometimes the architecture IS the film: When it rises above just being a thing to see, and becomes a MECHANISM for a WAY of SEEING, that is the Architecture OF Film

Architecture of "Dr. No" [1962]
Art Direction by Ken Adam
A wacky mixture of brutalism, faux-Polynesian-organic and Hollywood-Spanish Colonial. (With high-corporate industrial & retro-Schindleresque details).
Ken Adams set for Dr. No's nuclear hideout, would inspire Kubrick to hire Adam to design the War Room in "Dr. Strangelove". Adam would go on to work on six more Bond films.
