Ken Adam (1921‚Äì2016) was a German-British production designer best known for his iconic work on James Bond films. He created bold, futuristic sets such as Dr. No’s lair and the War Room in ‚’Dr. Strangelove’, blending modernism with dramatic scale. A two-time Academy Award winner, Adam revolutionised cinematic design by using architecture to express power, menace, and psychological tension, leaving a lasting influence on film aesthetics.
