Transformer buildings rise in highest big city

EL ALTO, Bolivia - The Transformers have been transformed yet again.

Already featured as toys and video games, comic books, television series and movies, they've now been reconfigured as exuberantly colorful multistory buildings that loom unexpectedly over the streets of El Alto, the world's highest big city.

A fan of the series, Santos Churata, designs the facades and interiors using lurid colors, jutting angles and plenty of gleaming metal.
