| Interior
design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and
technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve
a built interior environment. These solutions are functional,
enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants,
and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response
to and coordinated with code and regulatory requirements,
and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability.
The
interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated
methodology, including research, analysis and integration
of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs
and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior
space that fulfills the project goals.
The
work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines including
environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and
traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan
the spaces of almost every type of building including: hotels,
corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences,
shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals.
Today,
interior designers must be attuned to architectural detailing
including floor plans, home renovations, and construction
codes. Some interior designers are architects as well. |
