Tales from the Altiplano

Tales from the Altiplano is a series of live Instagram talks every Friday starting on the 5th of June on the AA Visiting School Instagram account at 6PM BST. We will be questioning how architecture is seen as a means of reclaiming a cultural identity. How in this informal Bolivian context can we construct a new way to approach architecture. The AAVS El Alto explores the Altiplano as an example to counteract a certain gentrifying flatness of today’s architecture- providing an opportunity to describe singularities and sub-cultures, through iconographic and architectural strategies. This series will keep alive the conversation about architecture and urbanism with artists, researchers, and young Architects and Designers. We are looking forward to seeing you there, engaging in the conversation with questions, doubts, and curiosities! Join us ad keep the discussion alive!
