it may not be “fake” in the sense of pretending to be something different, but it mimics neolithic construction principles although it isn’t from the neolithic era. (I agree “fake” may not be the correct term, hard to tell from 2 pictures but I guess the architects sent out some hints that this is a modern structure, trying to avoid creating the impression that it is actually ancient).
Still this (exception) is more a prove that these are almost always (pre)historic than a hint that we must use a different key.
