The Bank of Asia (Robot Building), Bangkok, Thailand

Posted on at


The Robot Building, located in the Sathorn business district of BangkokThailand, housesUnited Overseas Bank's Bangkok headquarters. It was designed for the Bank of Asia bySumet Jumsai to reflect the computerization of banking; its architecture is a reaction against neoclassical and high-tech postmodern architecture. The building's features, such as progressively receding walls, antennas, and eyes, contribute to its robotic appearance and to its practical function. Completed in 1986, the building is one of the last examples ofmodern architecture in Bangkok.
