i completely understand what you mean...I came across this: http://www.big.dk/projects/mer/mer.html (a project titled Mermaid by BIG) and http://vincent.callebaut.org/planche-lilypad_pl28.html (The Lilly pad by Vincent Callebaut) maybe its collective conscience!!
To the question does originality preserve identity I would answer no. I think originality is overrated. You don't need to be original to be unique. True virtuosity often entails the variation of a well-known theme.
I believe that transparency is key. A copy can become a citation. But of course there are limits to this argument ...
I am working on an open architecture project on a different level. These are very good questions. Thx
Copying is something where one simply picks up a concept & duplicates with minor tweaks without the understanding of the concept itself.Its often done in a hurry to meet deadlines. So not necessarily the best solution.
Inspiration is derived when there is a situation - There was a Solution by someone - A person understands the structure & approach of solution & tries to solve his situation. So inspiration is a sort of Evolution where you learn from others Good or Bad and avoid reinventing the wheel again.

If we imagine that the project is under CC licence, the ethical problem vanishes. And some questions remain:
What does it mean for the space, when it is dominated by the building, identical to another one in the different context?
What does this automatic relation give?
Is originality valuable or even obligatory in every case?
Can it preserve identity?
