ROBOT BUILDING : MOST UNIQUE BANK IN WORLD

The ROBOT BUILDING, located in the Sathorn business district of BANGKOK, THAILAND is most unique bank in world . It was designed for the BANK OF ASIA by Sumet Jumsai to reflect the computerization of banking. 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 of modern architecture in Bangkok.

Thai architect Sumet Jumsai designed the Robot Building for the Bank of Asia, which was acquired by United Overseas Bank in 2005. He had been asked by the Bank of Asia's directors to design a building that reflected the modernization and computerization of banking and found inspiration in his son's toy robot.
