This architecture immediately reminded me of the ancient Roman Tomb of Eurysaces (circa 30 BC).

I see reenactionary architecturism here in a funny kind of way. Given Le Corbusier's admiration of grain silo architectures, can the Tomb of Eurysaces be seen as an unlikely precursor of the whole "box raised on pilotis" paradigm? The holes in the tomb 'box' also remind me of Koolhaas' House in Bordeaux, which is indeed a reenactionary riff off the 'box raised on pilotis' paradigm.

There is a reason Le Corbusier is presently staying at the W.W.II bunker at Cape May Point.
