Abstract

The paper is a study by type of that housing cornmon to the Aymara settlements on the Bolivian Uplands, these people being of much importance as they make up a good part of the folk in the most densely populated townships and cities in the country. The paper sets out to demonstrate that their dwellings hold true to a formal code of building that has been handed down to them from the past and that it thus stands as a unifying point and answer for them to the changes and influences that the rest of the country's vernacular architecture has been subjected to. This selfsame collective identity shows itself in a will to expression that unites this people and could well serve us as an important touchstone in helping to explain the true nature of urban growth in the Andes.
