Why don interior designers just become registered architects?
Currently there is a trend across the country, we are seeing. Architecture schools are beginning to merge with interior design schools. CILDO agrees that the association of the professional curricula is positive, however, the interior design is a distinct professional degree that requires four years of specialized curriculum. NCARB is promoting interior design be dissolved into an architectural specialty following a full architectural degree. Interior designers are not asking to design the structure or systems of buildings. They are only asking for the right to design interior spaces within the built environment as their education, experience, and testing qualifies the foundation of knowledge required to protect the life, health and safety of the public.
