About the Author: Len King is a licensed architect and residential builder with over 40 years of experience. After gaining a Bachelors degree in Architecture and a Masters in Urban Design he practiced in New York City and western North Carolina. He has designed and built numerous homes ranging from traditional to the very progressive. His comprehensive background has provided a unique perspective on what design is and what the young beginning designers need to be prepared for. Likewise he acknowledged that 'on the job training' was a viable alternative to lengthy and often expensive education. As such the question was asked what does this person need to get going, be effective and grow into the expert the industry needs? Simultaneously teaching at local colleges where many of the students were adults interested in learning what was needed to 'design their own home' Len had the idea for this book. He hopes that his experience and insights will be discovered and useful and improve what is presently a very hit and miss industry design quality wise. Last and not least is his message of "look first at your land" before you design a house and stay GREEN.
