It was only recently that architects from non-Western countries could truly establish a global recognition and draw attention from the West. While the basic challenges of architectural practice remain the same all over the world, the architects in&nbsp; non- Western countries &#8211; often labelled as developing countries &#8211; often find strikingly unique solutions to different requirements including sustainability, transportation, migration, construction materials, and traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47477 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4284_edit-rec_low-res-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47479 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4285_edit-rec_low-res-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47480 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/3W2A4289_edit-rec_low-res-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;
