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.
