Similar architecture from both past and present?
I was wondering if anyone could think of any popular architectural buildings from the past that are similar to a building build in the modern present era? (for example, i mean like the great pyramids and then the louvre museum)

- My example would be that many countries model their governmental capitol buildings after the Roman style - you know, columns and domes, etc. in an ATTEMPT to associate themselves with the idea of 'empire'. It's not working out too well is it ?? Another main one is that modern sports arenas are basically designed with the same tiered seating and entry ways as were used in the Roman Colleseum. Both my examples have their roots in ancient Greece and actually go back further to ancient Egypt, just as in your example.
