Interview: Don Metz, "Confessions of a Country Architect."
Tuesday, 11/06/07 5:30pm and 5:30pm
Don Metz is an architect with a view. After graduating from the Yale School of Architecture, when many students gravitate to lucrative commercial firms, Metz opted instead to open a small country practice in the Upper Valley.
He has built his reputation as a maverick architect and a pioneer in sustainable housing, and is a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.
Metz recounts his experiences in his new memoir, "Confessions of a Country Architect." The book contrasts the sometimes loopy requests of wealthy clients with the earthy wisdom of native contractors, and provides insight into a career devoted to building dreams.
Don Metz lives in Lyme, New Hampshire. He spoke with VPR's Neal Charnoff.
Metz will be appearing at The Norwich Bookstore,
tomorrow evening at 7.
