Freddy Mamani Silvestre (born 1 November 1971) is a Bolivian self-taught architect [1] noted for his development of the Neo-Andean architectural style. [2] His work is most associated with the city of El Alto and with the new social class of upwardly mobile indigenous Bolivians.
Mamani was born in Catavi; [3] [4] his father was a bricklayer. They moved to El Alto while Freddy was at the age of six. [5] He also followed his father's profession as a bricklayer. He had dreams of becoming an architect, but his work schedule would not permit him to attend whatever classes available in his local universities. Eventually, he instead received his degrees in civil construction and engineering from the Universidad Mayor de San Andres and Universidad Boliviana de Informática respectively. [5]
Regarding Mamani's architectural style, Italian architect Elisabetta Andreoli, author of "Andean Architecture of Bolivia", once explained that "some of the forms have been taken out of Andean art. The Tiwanacotas used a language of civilization in their forms: textiles, ceramics, and architectural ruins. Mamani uses the Andean cross, the diagonal juxtaposition of the planes, the duplicity, the repetition, the circle, which makes all this a stylisation theme, that is its source." [6]

The architecture of Bolivia is closely related to its history, culture and religion. Bolivian architecture has been constantly changing and progressing over time. Subject to terrain and high altitudes, most of Bolivia's Pre-Columbian buildings were built for housing, mainly influenced by Bolivian indigenous culture. The arrival of Spanish settlers brought many European-style buildings, and the Spaniards began planning to build big cities. After Independence, the architectural style became Neoclassical and many churches and government buildings were built. In modern Bolivia, like many countries, skyscrapers and post-modern buildings dominate, and of course there are special styles of architecture to attract tourists and build.
