Cholets - Andinian Architecture by Yuri Segalerba

In the Andean Plateau, at over 4000 meters high, rises El Alto, satellite city of La Paz, founded in 1985. Today it counts almost one million of inhabitants and it's the second most populated city in Bolivia after Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The Aymara natives, come from the countryside, make up about 75% of the population and are now part of the new middle class. A growing economy and a renewed sense of indigenous pride has led to the rise of a new style of architecture which introduced some color in the city of El Alto, mostly characterized by a strong use of exposed brick. During a trip to Bolivia, Yuri Segalerba retraced the streets of El Alto to discover these buildings and photographing them focusing on the social and architectural contrast they represent, without ignoring the uniqueness of the geometry and chromaticity typical of this style.
