In the 1960s and 70s, many African countries embraced Brutalist architecture, yet we, despite our communist ties, did not follow suit. Even Kenya adopted this style; why didn’t we?

Looks absolutely terrible. Thank Allah we didn't embrace that.

I really liked the architecture of Hargeisa and Mogadishu in 1970s and 1980s

Somalia should be doing the same and it seems like they were doing similar to that before mogadishu in the 1970s. Continuing the whitewashed flat roofed architecture with a modern flare to it

The typical home in Hargeisa used to grow gardens with fruits and mango trees.

It was essentially a garden city in a way. In Mogadishu they used to build out various social housing units and also single estates with gardens.

Hargeisa homes didn't look too bad either, it looked like a hybrid style of it
