The villain&rsquo;s lair, as popularized in many of our favorite movies, is much more than where the megalomaniac goes to get some rest. Instead, the homes of the villains are places where evil is plotted and where, often, the hero is tested...</p></em><br /><br /><p>By Miami-based architect <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/29194815/oppenheim-architecture" target="_blank">Chad Oppenheim</a> and editor Andrea Gollin, the new publication explores the architectural designs from fifteen films through architectural illustrations and renderings, photographs, essays, film analyses, and interviews. Some of the films featured include&nbsp;<em>Dr. Strangelove, The Incredibles, Blade Runner 2049,&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>You only Live Twice.</em> It will be released on November 5th.</p> <p></p> <figure><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/59/59e78e506bbb10d756bb9d7fc2e5026f.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/59/59e78e506bbb10d756bb9d7fc2e5026f.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></figure><figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/f1/f1c602fc20e4e600859ccdd15d33f871.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/f1/f1c602fc20e4e600859ccdd15d33f871.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p></figure><figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/54/54a2378b1391a4af77bde7106823f7e2.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/54/54a2378b1391a4af77bde7106823f7e2.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p></figure><figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/05/05b34d0324f7cc9e9307bb6bd736380e.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/05/05b34d0324f7cc9e9307bb6bd736380e.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p></figure><figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ba/ba3572415317d5d8a4957d642b927e87.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ba/ba3572415317d5d8a4957d642b927e87.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p></figure><figure><figure><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/a8/a84242ae7abee321ebbcf4e266f7f844.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/a8/a84242ae7abee321ebbcf4e266f7f844.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></figure></figure>
