Buildings on stilts

Putting buildings on stilts has been happening for a long time to protect a building from tides or flooding. However in the last century stilts have been used in modern and contemporary architecture, either for affect or for practical use. A common use is to give a floating appearance like in Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth house.
