Quantum of Solace released today in India but if you are looking for spoilers, you are probably reading the wrong blog! What we will tell you, however, is that if you are an architect or a design enthusiast you have plenty to look forward to in the movie. James Bond movies always pay great attention to detail in designing sets and picking locations and this one is no different. We thought we will feature some of those famous sets and interiors shown in Bond movies old and new.

So, wondering what’s new in the Quantum of Solace? One of the attractions is the Festival House Bregenz in Austria designed by Dietrich Untertrifaller which is a behemoth of an amphitheatre situated on the waterside of Lake Constance and is a perfect venue for a covert mid-opera meeting of arch-villains. Probably the only amphitheatre out there that opens into a lake…
