Abstract
Este trabajo presenta una primera aproximación a las características de la arquitectura estatal producida por el Estado boliviano durante el periodo 2006 a 2019 conocido como el "Proceso de Cambio" o la "Revolución Democrática y Cultural". Tiene el objetivo de caracterizar la arquitectura producida por el Estado boliviano en comparación con códigos de la arquitectura revolucionaria de otros países, así como códigos y rasgos propios de las culturas prehispánicas de la región. El artículo examina referencias de arquitectura de otras revoluciones, revisa las características de evolución del "Proceso de Cambio", observa las condiciones del escenario urbano boliviano, analiza una serie de hechos arquitectónicos usando el enfoque trilógico y finalmente caracteriza las principales edificaciones estatales según códigos y rasgos que coincidirían con el discurso revolucionario y el nuevo paradigma del "Vivir Bien". La revisión y reflexión final corrobora una limitada coincidencia de la práctica arquitectónica con el discurso revolucionario y parece ratificar la noción de que la arquitectura revolucionaria es más un producto de mercado.
This work presents a first approach to the characteristics of the state architecture produced by the Bolivian State during the period 2006 to 2019 known as the "Process of Change" or the "Democratic and Cultural Revolution". It has the objective of characterizing the architecture produced by the Bolivian State in comparison with codes of revolutionary architecture of other countries, as well as codes and characteristics of the pre-Hispanic cultures of the region. The paper examines architectural references from other revolutions, reviews the evolutionary characteristics of the "Process of Change", observes the conditions of the Bolivian urban scenario, analyzes a series of architectural facts using the trilogical approach and finally characterizes the main state buildings according to codes and features that would coincide with the revolutionary discourse and the new paradigm of "living well". The final review and reflection corroborates a limited coincidence of architectural practice with revolutionary discourse and seems to ratify the notion that revolutionary architecture is more of a market product.
