Ken-ichi Kimura (木村 建一, Kimura Ken-ichi) (born 1933, Fushun, China) is a Japanese environmental architect.[1]
Kimura's main interests lie in sustainable architecture and engineering. In 1972, he designed a solar-heated house for his family, which attracted public attention after the oil crisis of 1973. Since then, he has designed several more solar houses and conducted studies on energy conservation in buildings, utilization of natural energy sources, and solar heating and cooling. He has also enjoyed a long career in academia, and has authored a variety of publications.
