Hello everybody.
I am a video artist, new to this list and working on a video essay of multiplicating architecture, identical buildings in different places.
Already included are some of the odd copies of monumental landmark buildings, such as the DC Capitol , rebuilt in Shanghai and the -slightly different- copy of the Peter's Dome in Yamoutsukro.
I am in search of any case of (post)modern architecture that was rebuilt once or even several times in different world locations.
Once I came across the rumour that interior designer Phillippe Starck had build his own holiday mansion four time identically all over the world, but
I found absolutely no proof on that story...
Any comments / leads much appreciated.

| there is one in san franciso i believe. I know it isn't much help if i don't have a name. It was a library I believe. And another architect built something that was almost an exact copy. Maybe some one else knows what i am talking about. One in philly also but i don't know whether it is post modern or not. I haven't seen it only heard a teacher talking about it in regards to wether it is still considered architecture if it is a carbon copy. |
