So does anyone know what function is served by the sticks in the walls of the Malinese and Burkinabe architecture?
the second photograph is no unknown, it was taken by Margaret Courtney- Clarke in Burkina Faso and published in her book African Canvas
So I’m not 100% sure on this but I think the sticks in the walls in West African mud-brick structures serve a similar purpose as rebar in concrete: they provide extra tensile strength (essentially resistance to being pulled apart), especially for upper-story floors and roofs. Also, since these buildings need to be resurfaced regularly, the bits sticking out are useful for climbing up the side of the building. Plus they look cool.
Also, gotta add the Grande Mosquée de Djenne, the first iteration of which was built sometime between 1200-1330:
