- "Bruce King brings an engineer's steady perspective to the sometimes wild west of 'alternative' building. In so doing, he both cuts through the wilder claims of over-enthusiastic promoters, and also opens the eyes of a conservative industry to the hidden value of traditional, indigenous, and truly innovative architecture. I have known Bruce for over 15 years, and the application of his technical skills and human understanding to the challenges of alternative materials and construction has taken his field from the outlier to the almost mainstream."
-- John Straube, Ph.D., P.Eng., principal, Building Science Corp.
"Even with my years in the straw bale trenches, I rely on Bruce for input and inspiration. His recent involvement in our project in Buckley, Washington simplified our details, eliminated excess labor and materials and brought another structural engineer into the straw bale fold. Very valuable indeed! "
-- Terry Phelan, Living Shelter Design Architects
