Architecture vs. Interiors? Time to settle the debate.
Architecture and interior design are distinct yet related disciplines both addressing public health, safety, and welfare.
As a professional in this field, I have seen the interior design profession face unwarranted criticisms. Two easy ways to solve the debate?
✨ Understand and take seriously the RISKS of bad interior design.
✨ Appreciate the REWARDS of good interior design.
But leaders in the industry are starting to call attention to the similarities - encouraging a partnership between practice areas. National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) (NCARB) and CIDQ (Council for Interior Design Qualification) advocate for regulated practice through education, experience, and examination. A recent joint report highlights the similarities and essential tasks between the two disciplines, aiming to streamline the dialogue.
