| The city Logone-Birni (below left)
was built by the Kotoko people of Cameroon. |
| The buildings, made of clay, are examples of architecture by accretion. |
| New enclosures were built around older, often sharing walls with the older rooms. |
| At least in part, this reflected patriarchical aspects of the culture: a father wanted his
sons to live nearby, so their houses were built sharing walls with their father's house. |
| Although not fractal, the design of the chief's palace (below, right)
exhibits an interesting social scaling. |
