For one last time, at age 93, cigar in hand, the legendary Sir Ken brandishes his Flo-Master, deploying a felt-tip pen as he recreates the designs he conjured for the supposedly nuclear blast-proof conference room, located below the Pentagon, the iconic "War Room" from the climax of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). While drawing, he anatomizes the fundamental spatial metamorphosis that this center of power went through across months of intense collaboration with the film's director, Stanley Kubrick.
