INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER This chapter introduces the four different scales that take a significant role in the framework for a national integrity system. The purpose of this chapter is to provide context of regional, provincial, and municipal representations. This chapter also clarifies that the selected scale that will be developed into an architectural design proposal is the provincial scale. The provinces in Bolivia are electoral districts for the House of Representatives which is the starting point for gaining momentum to cleanse national government from corruption and prove the legitimacy of candidates. The province scale will have a lot more human interaction amongst stakeholders and individual citizens. This is where direct contact and control between the citizen and the stakeholder will be issued. The electoral base represents the many municipalities within the province. Therefore, restoring trust this way at provincial level will develop trustworthy momentum amongst municipalities that the province base represents. This chapter also discusses who the stakeholders are in which the individual citizen will interact with. It discusses why each of these stakeholders may want to be involved in this framework and significant advantages that result from their participation. The chapter concludes with an introduction to typology identification. Transparency International (TI) and UN-Habitat together established a publication with an exhaustive list of strategies to tackle corruption. In their publication ‘Tools To Support Transparency in Local Governance’ finds the identification of a typologies to be integrated into the framework.

77% think ordinary people can make a difference in the fight against corruption

As the research in phase one concludes that citizen’s need a stronger platform that protects whistleblower’s from retaliation, there must be an establishment of a national support network for whistleblowers across Bolivia. Figure 1.1 introduces how this national support network will be distributed at a national scale. The objective of need

at a local scale, we are able to directly draw connections to the consequences of corruption as these negative effects of corruption are experienced from local government level. For example, at local level, this is where civil benefits such as health, education and public services are jeopardised.

WHO?

Phase one of this thesis proposed an anti-corruption intervention at national government level, however, experience from Transparency International suggest that this can take a long process. Therefore, by intervening at every local scale across Bolivia within all electoral districts, this framework can generate the momentum to cleanse Bolivia from the bottom to the top.

BEYOND CORRUPTION D E M O C R AT I S AT I O N & D E C E N T R A L I S AT I O N Of course, should it take two years for the corruption to be cleansed from Bolivia then what purpose does this national integrity framework serve later? After tackling corruption, this framework serves the basis for the transparent qualities about to be enhanced in Bolivia; urbanisation; globalisation; decentralisation; and democratisation. This will allow citizens to become more involved and engaged with decisions that affect their daily lives and allow local governments to respond appropriately and directly to any issues in society. The process of decentralisation of Bolivia will quickly enhance accountability as access to information and public participation will be provided at a more local and intimate scale. To decentralise Bolivia, the framework must operate at multiple scales. and function as one national integrity system of many local integrity systems. More importantly, for sufficient and long-lasting results in government, this transparent framework can be the committee that choses political candidates who wish to represent a region (in the house of senators), a province (in the house of representatives) or a municipality (in local government). The first section of phase two aims to explain the origins of this framework; how it begins and how it will kickstart an anticorruption revolution. It will then proceed to demonstrate the momentum that progresses the development of the framework and generate more funding to become a more established human organisation that can eventually accommodate the role of selecting individuals to represent citizens in politics.

WHERE DOES POLITICS FIT INTO THE FRAMEWORK? As mentioned before in this chapter, the anti-corruption framework will extend beyond the cleansing of corruption. This human organisation will eventually restore the trust in

“THE UPPER HOUSE” CAMARA DE SENADORES CHAMBER OF SENATORS

political candidates who wish to represent citizens at local or national government levels. To catalyse an anti-corruption revolution this framework will nominate candidates who wish to represent others in a political role after a series of assessments and training to ensure the candidate is clean. It must be noted that the political stance and interests of this candidate and the political party that he or she is representing is absent during this process. This human organisation is non-partisan and must act as an engine to prove the legitimacy of political candidates. The largest three of the four scales will assess political candidates; The headquarters base that represents the region will select candidates running for the Chamber of Senators. Each headquarters base will verify and confirm the legitimacy of Senators running to represent “The Upper House”. At the moment, there are 36 seats in the Chamber of Senators as 4 Senators represent each of the 9 regions in Bolivia. The province scale will select candidates running for the Chamber of Deputies. Each province base will verify and confirm the legitimacy of candidates wishing to be a representative in each electoral province and have a seat in “The Lower House”. The municipal scale in this framework will verify and confirm the legitimacy of candidates who wish to run for local government. Ethical training practices and assessments for these candidates must take place at the province base to maintain transparent consistency amongst the municipalities and generate transparent momentum for the province as a whole. Therefore, this process ensures that citizens can trust that these candidates are not involved with corruption and are dedicated to providing their best interests at heart, rather

Non-Government-Organisations (NGOs) and CommunityBased-Organisations (CBOs) are likely to kickstart the revolution by closely informing and involving the individual citizen. This will then stretch to the attention of local government once enough participants gain local government attention and recognition as a human orgnaisation. After gaining local government attention, this transparent organisation is then capable for more funding through the local governance. This is where the organisation can stretch to gain the attention of Private Sector and Professional Associations who may be involved with corruption. The local governance can use the findings from NGOs, CBOs and citizens to get private companies attention and encourage them to become more involved with the organisation. Once all stakeholders are contributing and involved in this framework, the National Government can institutionalise the transparent human organisation. The scenario adopted for the design proposal is one in which the National Government is committed to national transparency and provides the order and funding of devolved power across the regions, provinces and municipalities.

TOOLKIT FOR TRANSPARENCY CLEANING CORRUPTION As mentioned in the introduction to the framework, the two clients involved to represent this organisation are Transparency International and UN-Habitat. These two organisations had previously worked together to produce a publication of an exhaustive list of tools that are categorised into four strategies in an effort to defeat corruption. The strategies are important as they are a recipe for cleansing a state from corruption. The toolkit publication is designed to be implemented at local governance level. The first four strategies beginning by a series of investigative techniques in Assessment and Monitoring Stages. The second strategy aims to involve wider audience and gain local government support and recognition in Access to Information. The purpose of the the third strategy is to gain public trust through Ethics and Integrity training procedures and public confrontation. And the fourth strategy aims to take action from whistleblowers through a series of confidential tools to help expose corruption. The fifth strategy, Targeting Specific Issues, aims to expose corrupt cases and resolve cases that were investigated in this organisation. There are no specific tools for this strategy as it depends on one of the various forms of corruption that has been committed. To propose an Architectural response for this organisation, designers must understand the roles and processes of each tool within each strategy. A strong understanding of how this framework operates and functions will prove the success of the outcome of this proposal.

INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER This research chapter illustrates the thought process and working that leads to the establishment of a typology. The chapter begins with a working mind map of each of the five tools to promote transparency and the various strategies within each tool. This chapter is important because it demonstrates new research that was not studied in phase one (5A) of the thesis exploration. It is important to include this research because it elaborates the idea mentioned in chapter one regarding devolving power to local government scales as oppose to intervening at national government level. Chapter two proceeds to map the strategies in coherent order per tool, and introduce the roles of each strategy. Then, further development studies the movements of each tool by analysing their processes and deciding what architectural spaces may be required for integrating into a typology. The process diagrams illustrate the working that leads to a schedule of accommodation for each tool that has been summarised down the left side of each process page. This chapter concludes with a refined schedule of accommodation for the typology as a whole to be developed for the provincial scale.

INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER Chapter three is the final part of section 1. This is where the instructions for a typology prototype conclude and are ready to be implemented in the framework. This chapter develops a scheme by translating the processes of the strategies in chapter two into architectural spaces. The framework legitimacy exhausts the possible scenarios that this framework can undertake. Although it does not solve disputes and unexpected disagreements, the framework developed in this chapter demonstrates that their are spaces prepared to accommodate such disputes. This chapter will individually construct a narrative for each tool and conclude with a composed conceptual narrative map. The narrative should be viewed in conjunction with the schedule of accommodation at the end of chapter two to produce a successful anti-corruption human agency.

ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING C O N S T R U C T I N G A N A R R AT I V E Although there are multiple surveys, assessments and checklists needed to commence corrupt investigations, the collaboration of these findings produces a narrative for the first strategy that follows a simple and linear procedure. Small discussion spaces begin the hypothesis of an investigation and progress to the development of these assessments, checklists and surveys by using small meeting rooms and workshops. These findings are reported back to the organisation to paint a picture of the effect corrupt activity has on a community. This information is passed onto a community to share the information and encourage them to be involved and take action against those accountable. This will then step back to a meeting the NGOs and CBOs organise with institutions about the findings and invite them to a Participatory Corruption Appraisal meeting. This meeting is an opportunity to express concerns raised by the general public through report cards and directly link the problems and issues with those accountable. Discussions of overall performance of various institutions take place in Public Records of Operations and Finance. It is here where the public can visualise where institutions are under-performing and raise questions or queries where they would like NGOs to investigate further.

ACCESS TO INFORMATION C O N S T R U C T I N G A N A R R AT I V E Access to Information and Public Participation becomes is a strategy that becomes a lot more busy with the general public. At this strategy, citizens learn more about their basic human rights and learn more about what organisations and institutions are violating those rights. This is a strategy that allows citizens to participate in the output of local governance performance and voice their concerns of the negative effects directly to those accountable. The assessments and monitoring of the first strategy grow into public meetings that unlock more access to information facilities and will continue to do so until achieving full transparency. This allows the performance and responsiveness of local government to improve and encourage citizens to participate in decisions at public meetings and public education events. The growing presence of the media are able to report on transparent movements and expose corrupt institutions. The media can also work with NGOs to produce media for the publications library as well as distributing publications to municipal and local scales. The Media Training centre should only be located in the province local and journalists from other municipalities within that province should travel to their province base. This ensures provincial consistency when identifying corruption.

ETHICS AND INTEGRITY C O N S T R U C T I N G A N A R R AT I V E The establishment of The Independent Ethics Commission is a non-biased and non-partisan group that works with stakeholders to produce ethical standards within institutions. Ethics Commissioners are able to cooperate and produce these code of ethics within a workshop and implement them in Ethics Training. The Ethics Commissioners can also organise public hearing events for their findings and discuss this with professional institutions. Citizens should be invited to attend or observe these public hearings for their own source of information and understanding how employers should perform. The Independent Ethics Commission is one of the last tools for providing the complete transparent evidence against political candidates who seek to represent an electoral province or local government. Ethics Commissioners progress to Ethical Campaign Practices where they are joined by other stakeholders and the general public in a national / local debate. At this stage, the citizens are very well equipped after being educated with transparent sources and data. They are able to trust this organisation for their source of information and appropriately elect candidates and hold candidates accountable. A question-time styled arena will allow the public to participate amongst other stakeholders to discuss political movements and campaigns. The transparent media are invited to expose these debates to the nation, region, province or municipality.

INSTITUTIONAL REFORM C O N S T R U C T I N G A N A R R AT I V E Spaces associated with Institutional reform have a unique role within this narrative. This strategy participates in this anti-corruption framework at various different stages within the progress of this organisation. The tools shown that grow into green, blue or red represent the strategy that they can participate with. This is all calrified in a unified conceptual narrative on the next to page to demonstrate exactly what tool these institutional reforms can assist with. The Oversight Committee is a tool that should be practiced from the grassroots of the development of this organisation. This is because it is here where individual citizens who work in different departments can discuss overall performance and find reason to investigate corrupt practices. It is here that they should work with NGOs and CBOs to identify further investigations into institutions where corruption thrives. Employees of institutions can be invited confidentially or volunteer to share their experience in an Oversight Committee. It is the Oversight Committee that assess the progress of the anti-corruption agency and ensure that justice is served and conclusions are satisfied. Therefore, the Oversight Committee plays a vital role from the start to the end of this organisation and will assess the management of the strategies.

TELLING THE NARRATIVE C O N S T R U C T I N G A N A R R AT I V E Connecting the four strategies together produces a very perfect narrative. All things considered, this is where the prototype for the narrative plan concludes. It is now time to implement this plan and test it on a site. The narrative plan will play an important role of purely providing a schedule of accommodation for the anti-corrupt organisation. The narrative plan is by no means an architectural proposition, but it will be used as a thoughtful guide to ensure that the architectural proposition has satisfied all strategy requirements. This concludes section one and the framework to kick-start an anti-corrupt revolution. It is now time to test the narrative on a selected site in section two - Design Development.

Section two begins by restating the scales that the design proposal is hosted by and provides specific descriptions of where this design proposal addresses and represents. This chapter provides an introduction to the chosen context in the city of La Paz and the site selection decisions taken to reach a site and why the selected site is most appropriate for this intervention. Chapter four concludes with initial ideas that suggest the design approach to the establishment which will launch section two into chapter five.

PROVINCE BASE REPORTS BACK TO REGIONAL HEADQUARTER BASE

LA PAZ ROLE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK The chosen scale to test this framework is the province scale. The province scale has been chosen because it has the most citizen interaction amongst all the other scales and it accommodates qualities that can also be implemented at municipal scale as well. The city of La Paz in the region of Murillo was selected because it contains the most citizens who may be vulnerable to corruption within Bolivia. La Paz has the largest poverty rate in Bolivia and contains informal settlements that live in the most poorest conditions. La Paz is, therefore, will be the most challenging intervention. It is with this respect, that La Paz has been selected to test the framework as the development and outcome of this prototype can be followed amongst other provinces. Since La Paz will be the most challenging anti-corruption intervention, then other province bases will be easier to develop. The Province base will be located in the municipality of La Paz and be responsible for transparent consistency, ethical training procedures and media training for the municipalities of El Alto, La Paz, Mecapaca, Achocalla and Palca. Each municipality base is responsible for (1) expressing corrupt violations investigated by the province, (2)

need to interchange 3 times. However, that area of La Paz is

far more wealthier than others and Plaza Villarroel is not only

IRPAWI

in a poor neighbourhood, but in quite high altitude and in proximity to the informal settlements that reside in the hills. Plaza Villarroel seems the most convenient site for 2 reasons. The site is connected to the white line and the orange line. The white line provides a direct network to the downtown area of La Paz which branches off into various southern and eastern neighbourhoods. The white line terminates beneath the plaza as you can see in figure 4.13. The orange line adventures east of La Paz and over the dramatic mountainous landscape. It touches down in the most poor communities that live in the most harsh conditions. After a further interchange you cross into El Alto. A further interchange adventures deep into El Alto. Therefore, this is an ideal site for connecting citizens all across La Paz and El Alto directly to the organisation. A second reason for why this site is convenient is because it offers an immense amount of open public space opposite of the museum of revolution. The site is bounded by roads and

at the end of one largest avenue in La Paz. Plaza Villarroel is located in one of the northern neighbourhoods of the city so it is already within walking distance for citizens who reside in informal settlements in the hills surrounding the site.

THE SITE P L A Z A V I L L A R R O E L I N L A PA Z The pink area illustrates the extent of Plaza Villarroel against the figure ground in blue. The surface area of this superblock roughly equates to every other block in the city. Its distinct round shape, however, accommodates more neighbouring superblocks. The west of the site is where the orange line climbs up the harsh Andes landscape. Cable-cars hover over the informal settlements below and decend into Plaza Villarroel. The white line stretches down narrow superblocks that connect Villarroel the the financial district and downtown area. The journey from the white line to Plaza Villarroel is an ascending experience through 20-30 storey buildings.

EXISTING SITE PLAZA VILLARROEL The north of the site serves as a flat surface that breaks from the harsh Andes landscape and is positioned in a valley between the mountainsides adjacent to the site. This flat surface creates a platform above the landscape that continues to fall west and east of the site, creating a platform that stands tall and observes the downtown skyline, south of the plaza.

PLANNING THE NARRATIVE PLAZA VILLARROEL PLanning the narrative on site will require further development of how the approach should be from the streets and from the Teleferico cable car network. The narrative should be planned to allow informal spaces become initial interactions. This is to avoid the formalisation of discussion on first approach. It also allows the proposal to be less intimidating as many political institutions seems to be. The narrative must portray a sense of ownership and civic pride for the province. It must have a welcoming and careful approach. Initially, the design began with informal spaces on the outskirts and have the scheme gradually develop into more formal spaces as you reached the core of the site. This massing diagram (figure 4,18) shows a scheme that does not consider the cable car network being directly connected into the proposal. Thus, leaving the cable car stations as existing and the design will continue to be developed around them. A significant design decision was made at this stage to integrate the cable car network as part of the design, rather than just at the site. This adds another dimension to the approach as informal spaces will now need to be required at the core, as well as the site boundaries.

INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER Chapter Five concludes section two of this thesis design proposal. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate an understanding of the steps and design decisions that form the design proposal in chapter six (section three). The chapter begins by developing the proposal from the core of the establishment. The core has been given a careful amount of design consideration as it mostly used by individual citizens, NGOs and CBOs. If this anti-corruption agency and transparent human organisation is like a solar system, then the core is the sun and the other planets (stakeholders) will revolve around the core. Forever symbolising an emphasis that the individual citizen has the power and knowledge of all institutions. Chapter five will explain through models and sketches how this metaphor will come apparent through archiectural design.

This spatial diagram shows the intention for how the development of the origins for this project intends to follow. The development of this phase will spot any weaknesses in the spatial diagram, note design changes required and accommodate them in the design proposal. The core of this project - The Oversight Committee - follows the conceptual map from chapter three to identify where the next spaces are and where they may need to be. The development studies the components of core individually and then tests them appropriately on site.

The Assembly form of the oversight committee should be circular to deflect confrontation and debate in unity. Circular forms are unified so debates and discussions perform as a team.

The Oversight Committee represents the Province as a whole in the centre. Sub committees from each municipality within the province of murillo are invited to contribute. The NGO takes the role of the speaker and is in charge of steering the discussion to get the most constructive output and solution within the meeting

The “Chakana” is a very familiar symbol in the Andes Regions of South America, particularly with Indigenous Bolivians. The Geometric symbol represents the four dimensions necessary for life in a community:

Spiritual, Social, Political and

Other significant definitions of this symbol in the Andes is “Apus”. Apus are the angels of nature in the Andean world. They are meaningful as the angels protect human beings from all intimidating forces in life.

This symbol will be influential for the design proposal of this project. It familiarises the proposal with the civilians and will establish a

sense of identity, ownership and perhaps calming for the

Andean region of Murillo.

INTRODUCTION TO CHAPTER Chapter six, the only chapter of section three, and the final section of this design thesis, concludes the architectural response to the province base typology in the national integrity framework. The Chapter begins with contextual understanding and familiarisation of the massing and exteriors of the building before it goes into more detail of the interior. The design proposal is presented as a series of orthogonal drawings in 2D and 3D. The orthogonal drawings go hand in hand with some of visualisations to demonstrate an experience of the reality of the proposal. One of the visualisations was not included in this publication as it requires access via a weblink which has been attached as a separate component for this thesis submission.
