Over the past few decades, Western architecture has dominated discourse and the built environment worldwide. However, recently, architecture firms from non-Western countries have been gaining local and global recognition. Firms around the world are facing challenges against a backdrop of rapidly growing cities, ecological demands, changing societies, climate change and emerging economies. Local architects often devise striking solutions to local issues, such as sustainability, transportation, migration, construction materials and traditions.

Beyond the West travels across Asia, Africa and the Americas to explore how local architects are responding to a changing world. The series focuses its wide lens on inspiring, truly global architecture.
