Quotes:

Central Park’s Belvedere Castle was taking on so much water of late that it was “basically acting like a sponge,” says Architect Barbara Campagna. That is one reason the Central Park Conservancy has engaged the firm of Campagna & Russo to restore Calvert Vaux’s 1872 Gothic folly. from Historic Preservation, Nov/Dec 1995.

“Modern architecture is often sculptural and experimental,” Campagna stated, raising questions about whether sustainable restorations must exactly replicate novel materials and assemblies or whether a building’s general concept is the more important consideration… “But when is the Glass House no longer the Glass House?” she asked rhetorically… from inform, 2008 #3 p. 10.

..”We were pretty sure we were going to get water in the house,“ added Barbara Campagna, the Trust’s Director of Architecture, who was at the house Thursday to discuss, by coincidence, an update of its disaster management plan. Inventing a disaster management plan on the spot, Campagna and others borrowed a flat bottomed aluminum boat and rode through the brown floodwater to the skeletal white house…” from “This Time, Farnsworth House Dodges Flood,” Chicago Tribune, August 30, 2007.
