Interior Design Vs. Architecture
Today, the professional world is increasingly connected & interdisciplinary, however & as more Colleges & Universities align these academic majors, the topic has seen renewed interest. Architecture & Interior Design have struggled with how & where they intersect as professions & academic disciplines. The struggle continues to be defined by two opposing & irreconcilable points of view, It promises to continue into the foreseeable future with little meaningful change. The academic programs previously focused on home economics and the design of the residential Interior began to adjust & accommodate this new commercial Interiors market. The Architectural education, focuses more on the structural designs of a building, while the Interior Design education focuses on the details, arrangement of the furniture & design of the room. The commercial Interiors industry has evolved largely since the middle of the last century for a variety of reasons. Historically, Architects have held responsibility for completing the Architectural Interior of buildings, although artisans, craftsmen, furniture makers and more recently Interior Decorators have played a role. In the beginning of the speculative building and a shift from corporate ownwership to leasing began to seperate the design of the building from the design of It’s Interior. Urban cores have aged, promting the need for Interior renovation of still viable building shells. An increasingly complexity associated with the building Interior in workplace, healthcare, institutional and other types of environments required an increased expertise and an increased level of specialization in professional services. A series of fault exchanges labeled “Inside/ Out- Architecture & Interior Design Curricula”, endorsed by the Association of the Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) & Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC), as well as recent efforts from a ACSA subcommittee to rethink accreditation standards, suggest that this disciplinary relationship remains, to some extent,in flux, and that we should continue to look to define a working relationship that will support the disciplinary distinction of both groups as well as their inherent connection. The possible definition of how these disciplines might intersect, and by extension how a reconceived and more broadly increased level of specialization in professional services. This trend toward specialization continues, as evidenced by such things as LEED-certification and similar credentialing, which continue to fragment expertise across the range of architectural and design services.
