Architectural Covers

I'm a big fan of architecture that looks like other architecture. Thus, I really like Post Post. It's true that one could get bent out of shape over the "ripping off" of a design, but I'd rather think of them as architectural covers. Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" is just as good as the NIN original (feel free to disagree). Similarly, re-iterations of buildings echo each other but are never truly identical.

Imitate.
Don’t be shy about it. Try to get as close as you can. You’ll never get all the way, and the separation might be truly remarkable...
