15 . Bangkok 02 – Technique no.1: boxes in voids








Some examples of nice composition of ac condensers and façade elements I found during my last trip to Bangkok (Dec 2009). Everything will look good, or at least interesting, as long as there is enough repetition of it. Our blog, acfacade.blogspot.com, will attempt to analyse & catalogue all techniques commonly used for intended placement of ac condensers on building façade. Hopefully, at the end of the day, we will be able to decipher something cool out of our substantial catalogue of techniques.

13 . Seoul 04 - A/C Mask









The Korean show how people and hot air can share the same space. The look of these masks could possibly inspire Michael Bay to come up with a new blockbuster hit on A/C condensers that transform into robots.

12 . Perfect Blend



The installation of condensers on this building blends in really well with the screen on the façade. It is hard to tell whether the condensers took advantage of the horizontal elements of the screen as their supports or the screen was designed for housing and concealing condensers.
