>mud mosque
How was it built? I suppose the wood acts as re-bar and it the mud monolithic? How does it not melt in rain?

There's drainage in it

Africa falls short when it comes to scale and grandeur, though their buildings are very comfy, rivaling English country cottages.

More correct to say Sub-Saharan Africa as you know, Ancient Egypt

Modern architecture is incredibly advanced and a blessing. Modern architectural STYLE is boring because it emphasizes a utilitarian look that's intended to feel clean but instead feels sterile and dull. Of course no one hates the science of contemporary buildings - people just hate the art of contemporary buildings. The meme that making a structure beautiful is a waste of resources needs to die.

The clean style of modern or contemporary architecture has great potential, but it is hard to pull off correctly. Beauty can be found in simplicity

Density wise also the stone building would be harder in the sahel due to the need to bring the required materials across the Saharan desert so mud was much more applicable

The mud is pretty hard and it doesn't rain very much/that heavily. They repair the structure every year.

Is this in Samarkand?

nvm, its Khiva, I knew it was Bukhara, Khiva, or Samarkand

Its ugly and boring.

Why do African put spikes all over their buildings like that?

Decoration, a bit of support and scaffolding for annual repairs

Can you please stop posting African mudhuts, just because a fresh cow dung shines doesn't mean that it should be taken that way.
