Stacked Casa del Fascio?

I can't be the only person who thinks the recently completed "Aufstockung und Generalsanierung Wohnhochhaus als Nullenergiehaus" designed by Freivogel-Architekten...

looks like Giuseppe Terragni's Casa del Fascio...



stacked two high?

Not only do the (1) articulated grid, (2) deep-set openings and (3) expanse of flat wall surface on one side of the building in Pforzheim, Germany, bring to mind the 1936 building in Como, Italy, but the generous space in front of each building (a road and train tracks in the case of Freivogel-Architekten's refurbishment of the 9-story building, and a plaza in the case of the 4-story Casa del Fascio) allows their fronts to be seen like 2-dimensional elevations. The proportions may be different but the similarities are uncanny.
