66. All black in Kyoto, Japan

Black AC's spotted on this Japanese Antiques store in Kyoto, Japan. The two different shaped vents provide a wonderful contrast, while blending with the charred wood backdrop.

I know it's stereotypical, but this reminds me of ninjas.

65. AC Goes Old School - Part 2

A recent visit to a university in Manila provided an opportunity to see how modern necessities have caught up with old buildings.(designed in various eras, 20's, 50's 80's)

Part 2: The Window type AC

Some of the AC's were probably installed when having air-conditioned classrooms were something new. It's apparent with the use of the window-type, which was a popular choice back then. The split-type AC would have been more energy efficient because it is better at handling prolonged usage.

Nested in the niches, this one is arranged neatly.

Part 1: Adaptation technique - Placing the AC in the pedestrian area.

We are not sure why this is, but the AC's have been placed as part of the pedestrian landscape. It's quite difficult to conclude what the reason for the location is,but it's definitely strange.

AC's are placed near pedestrian areas and it has become normal, despite the stark contrast to it's backdrop. The other side of the building has a very similar situation.

These arrangement of AC's caught my eye during a weekend drive in Metro Manila.
