The name 007 ELEMENTS reflects the visitor's journey through a
series of galleries, each distilling the craft of the signature
elements that define a James Bond film. The installation will focus
on Spectre , which was shot in Sölden and will feature other
titles in the long-running 24 film Bond franchise.
The collaboration between the project's Creative Director,
Neal Callow (Art Director on
Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and
Spectre) and Optimist Inc. Head of Design, Tino Schaedler and his team has resulted in an
immersive, interactive and educational experience that places
visitors inside the world of 007 while revealing how that world is
made.
"Our aim with 007 ELEMENTS is to tell the story of the making of
007 films in an ultra-modern, emotive and engaging way," Callow
explains. "We want to use this incredible location to place our
guests into Bond's environment, and bring the stories to life in a
unique and unforgettable way."
Located 3,050 meters above sea level, the 1,300 square meter
building has been constructed within the mountain and is arranged
over two levels. Blending seamlessly with its surroundings, the
impressive structure reveals itself through a tunnel and unfolds
into two main areas offering spectacular views of the Tyrolean
valleys.
Combining state-of-the-art technology with stark contemporary
architecture, 007 ELEMENTS creates a captivating experience with a
dramatic cinematic soundscape set in nature's awe-inspiring
surroundings.
The bespoke new building to house the installation was designed
and is currently being constructed by Obermoser Architects.
Tyrolean architect, Johann Obermoser
and his team have been planning and realising award-winning
commercial and residential buildings since 1983 including the
spectacular ice Q restaurant on the summit of the Gaislachkogl and
the Gaislachkogelbahn and Giggijochbahn cable car stations in
Sölden.
