Kimiko Suzuki

When Suzuki graduated there was an economic downturn following World War II. Instead of starting her career at an architecture firm, she had her first job in a publishing company and was promised the same salary as a man. Suzuki was able to find a position in an architecture office after her marriage. She later became an independent architect and worked on projects that included residential designs, a kindergarten, and a medical clinic.^[1]

She designed the Susume Abe's residence in 1967.^[2] Abe is known as a critic of the Japanese education system. Suzuki died at 63 because of an illness. A small collection of her works can be found at International Archive of Women in Architecture at Newman Library, Virginia Tech.^[1][2][3]
