In the last few years I've often seen comments on architecture websites stating that a certain architect "copied" a certain building.
Do you know any example of this?
I'll start: BIG's and Dorte Mandrup Architects' Cacti vs Miguel Fisac's The Pagoda

They look totally different to me, with Fisac it is one integrated constructive system that makes for a certain image, with BIG it is the exact opposite, it starts (and ends) with the image without any understanding or interest in the constructive system...

Mies91, those cacti are not even designed by Dorte Mandrup Architects, that's all BIG. Dorte Mandrup did the masterplan and some other buildings in the scheme. Before you 'accuse' someone of copying, maybe do a bit of research ;-)

Both are hideous but hideous in their own way.

I'll take either one of these over the first two, which look like Darth Vader after a very bad night.
duplitecture [d(y)o͞oplətek(t)SHər], noun: an intentional, functioning copy of a pre-existing, and often familiar, piece of architecture. For example, "Hangzhou's replication of Venice takes duplitecture to the city-level." This definition is Archinect's own wording.
