40. Up!

When facing density problem with limited space, the only way out is going up. The stacking of condensers was found somewhere in Chinatown of Singapore. Impressive...

39. AC Niches

A picture of ac condensers colonising a building recessed facade. This picture of the now-defunct blue moon pub was taken from the hospital's window after the photographer's operation...

Also spotted in Causeway Bay.

Another incident where the CU won the day. Aesthetics stepped aside. Functionality of the CU has to be prioritised. We cut the original screen to let the air through.

37. Ducted facade

Also spotted in sheung wan, hong kong, an interesting anarchist mix of recycled plastic ducting with slatted ac condenser screens to firm the shop facade of "homeless.hk" lifestyle store. A celebration of the visual anarchy of hong kong facades, even more appropriate that it is a play ac condensers

36. Framed in Hong Kong

If there is any place that would be considered ac facade heaven, it would have to be hong kong. The sheer scale of building facades with ancient ac condensers growing on them is just impressive, made even more intriguing with their play with 1960s architecture. One thing we noticed are several examples where there is a relationship between the scale of the building facade with ac condensers. Sometimes this might be deliberate, sometimes just coincidence...note the 2nd picture. It appears that initially smaller niches above the casement windows could have possibly been designed to fit small ac condensers. However, your typical condenser size has since grown, resulting in the 4 larger condensers that appear to be "expelled" from class...

35 . AC Facade is going green!

We discovered an interesting way to conceal ac condensers during our recent trip to Jakarta. This is one step closer to the marriage of ac condensers and greenery we posted on #28.

34 . Retro ACs 02

Found an interesting retro AC condensor in a back alley around Chinatown in Singapore.
