*Official Selection Award of the 10th Edition of the Festival International du Livre D'Art et du Film Both an architecture and movie fan's dream (LA Times), this strikingly designed (Publishers Weekly) and handsome tome (The Hollywood Reporter) sets out to answer the question we haven't stopped asking: Why do bad guys live in good houses? Big-screen villains often live in architectural splendor. From a design standpoint, the villain's lair, as popularized in many of our favorite movies, is a stunning, sophisticated, envy-inducing expression of the warped drives and desires of its occupant. In Lair, which appreciates and celebrates all things villain, pop culture and architecture join forces in these outlandish homes. From futuristic fantasies to deathtrap-laden hives, from dwellings in space to those under the sea, Lair features villains' homes from fifteen films, including Dr. Strangelove, The Incredibles, Blade Runner 2049, You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ex Machina. The award-winning book, with silver ink printed on luxurious black paper, explores the architectural design of these structures through architectural illustrations and renderings, photographs, essays, film analyses, interviews, and more. Highlights include interviews with production designers, directors, and other industry professionals such as Ralph Eggleston, Mark Digby, Richard Donner, Roger Christian, David Scheunemann, and Gregg Henry, along with excerpts from an oral history with the late architect John Lautner. Editorial contributors include Chad Oppenheim, Michael Mann, Sir Christopher Frayling, Joseph Rosa, Amy Murphy, Andrea Gollin, and Phillip Valys. Architectural illustrations and renderings are by Carlos Fueyo.
