She was born on November 13,1926 in San Francisco and attended Stanford University from 1944 to 1947, where she studied art and engineering and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. She served as an apprentice to famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright from 1948 to 1949 as part of the Taliesin Fellowship in Spring Green, Wisconsin and Scottsdale, Arizona. And she did her graduate work at Harvard University's School of Design from 1949 to 1950.","Gottlieb began her career working as a designer for Warren Callister in San Francisco. Her first solo project was the design of the Val Goeschen house, a one-room unit with 576 square feet, in Inverness, CA. She went on to design other residences in Marin County as part of the design team Duncombe-Davidson based in Sausalito, CA. This partnership spanned the years 1951 to 1956. From 1956 to 2002, Gottlieb worked as a freelance residential designer on over 100 projects in the Bay Area and in Riverside, CA, as well as in Washington, Idaho, and Virginia.","Gottlieb served as a lecturer at the College of the Holy Names in Oakland, CA from 1960 to 1964, at Alameda State College in Hayward, CA from 1962 to 1964, and at the University of California Extension in Riverside, CA from 1966 to 1972. She also gave guest lectures at various universities around the world, including one at Virginia Tech in 1996.","Gottlieb's work has been written about in many newspapers and periodicals, including House Beautiful and the Marin County Independent Journal. She has also published several works of her own, including Environment and Design in Housing (a book which was based on her lectures for a course of the same name and was published in 1966) and A Way of Life: An Apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright (which was based on the traveling exhibit of her photographs of Taliesin). Gottlieb's work has also been exhibited in institutions across the country, including a one-woman architectural exhibit at Virginia Tech in 1998 and the exhibit of photographs of Taliesin in2000-2001.","From 1995 to 1996, Gottlieb designed and supervised the construction of an 11,000 sq. ft. home and office complex for her son, Mark Gottlieb, and his family in Fairfax Station, Virginia. She also produced a video, \"Building a Dream: A Family Affair,\" which documents her work on the project.","The guide to the Lois Davidson Gottlieb Architectural Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing of the original donation took place from May to August 1997.

During World War II her family fled to Saitama, roughly 20 miles north of Tokyo's city center. While her father died during the war, she and her mother eventually returned to Tokyo (Asagaya) following its end.","Tomita attended Tokyo University and was the first woman to enroll in and graduate from the university's department of architecture in 1961. In 1963 she completed her master's course in architecture in Kenzo Tange's atelier (also part of Tokyo University's architecture department).","From 1963-1971 she worked at U Atelier (U-Ken), an architectural office headed by architect Takamasa Yoshizaka. In 1971, she and two other members of U Atelier, Hiroyasu Higuchi and Koichi Otake, left to start their own design practice, Atelier Zo, originally a pun on THO (the first letters of the founding members' last names), \"Zo\" means \"elephant\" in Japanese. In the 1980s Atelier Zo evolved into Team Zoo, a cooperative of loosely connected studios, each with its own animal iconography.","Reiko Tomita has taught at Tokyo University, Waseda University, and served as a visiting lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania University. Tomita continues to work at Atelier Zo in her 80s.","On her curriculum vitae she notes the following major projects for Atelier Zo on which she worked:","Domo Celakanto (1974) [residential]","Domo Arabeska (1974) [residential]","Domo Kinyana (1992) [residential]","Shinshukan Community Center (1980) [public/institutional]","Nago City Hall (1981) [public/institutional]","Kasahara Elementary School (1982) [educational]","Taiwan Iiran County Hall (1997) [public/institutional]","Kutaniyaki Porcelain Museum (2001) [public/institutional]","Tsuyama Archives of Western Learning (2009) [public/institutional]","The guide to the Reiko Tomita Architectural Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Reiko Tomita Architectural Collection was completed in May 2025.","The Reiko Tomita Architectural Collection consists of 27 sketches, primarily design development sketches and conceptual studies, 1 towel design printed on fabric, and an annotated curriculum vitae. Sketches were made using a variety of media and supports: pencil, ink, crayon, and marker on tracing, heavy construction or multimedia paper, and cotton.","The towel was designed to commemorate Tomita's 80th birthday; close to 100 were made, each hand-dyed, as gifts for friends.","Permission to publish material from the Reiko Tomita Architectural Collection must be obtained from the Special Collections and University Archives at Virginia Tech.","Reproduction or digitization of materials for personal or research use can be requested using our reproduction/digitization form: http://bit.ly/scuareproduction.","Reproduction or digitization of materials for publication or exhibit use can be requested using our publication/exhibition form: http://bit.ly/scuapublication.","Please contact Special Collections and University Archives (specref@vt.edu or 540-231-6308) if you need assistance with forms or to submit a completed form.","The Reiko Tomita Architectural Collection consists primarily of sketches (27 total), made with various media applied to different substrates.
