Twin buildings

daniek

Hello everybody, 

do you know of any project that involves two identical (or almost identical) buildings close to each other?

An example would be the project of the Cabanas en el Rio by Aires Mateus or the Trubek and Wisloki houses by Venturi Scott Brown and Associates.


Thanks!

I 100% thought this was a new rehashing of the other thread. You know the one...

Not exactly two buildings, but two towers.  One of my favorite buildings in NYC:

Most of those so-called twin buildings are horrible and show a lack of imagination times two. What's much more interesting in my opinion are buildings that have a dialogue together and respond to each other, rather than just repeat the same boring curtain wall because it's cheaper. Twin buildings spawned from two different fertilised eggs, let's say...
