Ken Adam

 Ken Adam, a well known production designer was most famous for working for Motion Picture and creating the set designs for the James Bond films of the 1960's and 1970's. Adam first entered the film industry as a draughtsman for This was a Woman in 1948, since then, Ken has created many more stage productions including Ben Hurr and Around the world in 80 Days. With his artistic passion ahead of him, this enabled  Adam to make his name with his innovative, semi-futuristic sets for the James Bond films. The Supertanker set for The Spy Who Loved Me which was created in 1977, was the largest sound stage in the world at the time it was built. He also designed the sets for: 
 Dr. No (1962)Goldfinger (1964)Thunderball (1965)You Only LiveTwice (1967)Diamonds are Forever (1971)Moonraker (1979)

Adam Designed all of the interior sets for this''tongue-in-cheek  spectacular'', Dr No, including the casino in the opening scene, Bond's apartments, M's office and the sprawling, futuristic lair of the villainous doctor himself. Adam designed the sets based on his life experiences and unique visual sense. He doesn't believe you can get a sense of reality by copying, and everything that is designed or created must have a reason to it. I think these designs perfectly capture a futuristic view for the Bond films, using big high-tech models like the rocket in scenes, subconsciously expressing wealth, power and the future. the design above looks rather simplistic and minimal with features, but the big open spaces allows you to focus on what is there and being shown, defying it's beauty and detail, and again expressing the wealth and power which is what the Bond movies capture brilliantly.
