“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.

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.
