How to change the direction of evaporation and thus location of condensation? For a specific region of air, enclosed by a metal box in which a constituent is obviously gaseous $\ce{H2O}$, is there any way in which we can control the location of condensation?

Assume the box is heated, typically we will have condensed $\ce{H2O}$ formed at the ceiling, does anyone have any strategies of condensing water on the inner sides of the box, or maybe at the base?

I feel like I have a limited scope, with the outer-most idea being to stick anhydrous calcium chloride (dessicant) on the inner sides and have a ledge for the water to sit on.
The simple answer is that water evaporate where the concentration in the air is lower than the vapor pressure some liquid water at a given temperature. Then it will condense at a location where the temperature is lower that the saturation temperature of water at that partial pressure.

Industrially, though, one widely used technique to avoid condensation when the surface temperature is low enough for it to happen is to use hydrophobic coatings to prevent the water vapor from nucleating on certain surfaces. A quick google search will reveal lots of these for different applications.
