Lol wow ^ There is a pretty big difference between taking influence and mimicry. There are ways you can design a building to be historically contextual without being literal. Sure architects all over the world have taken influence from other styles and countries, but they used materials and skills which were local. They were constructed under different building codes and requirements and as a result aren't total copies. The buildings as a result are often a combination of the style they're seeking to replicate, and the local building typology. The Landed Bank and Loan building at Main and James is a good example of this.
If I want mimicry I'll go to the world showcase at Epcot in Florida.
