Global Ends: towards the beginning explores the uncertain and de-centred nature of architecture and the global/local dynamic involved in both its perception and production in a post-9/11, post-Great East Japan Earthquake world. Taking views from several accomplished architects spread across all corners of the globe (Tom Kundig, Junya Ishigami, Kerry Hill, Sean Godsell, Smiljan Radic, Paulo David and RCR Aranda Pigem Vilalta Arquitectes), it focuses on the paradigm shift we are witnessing today, with collective creativity springing from far-flung regions and local solutions that are perhaps adaptable to global issues.
