Interior Architecture and Design from Pearl Academy of Fashion? Hello.. I am a 12th class student and want to be an interior designer.. Do you think a 4 year degree from PAF is a good option? Are there any other good colleges regarding the same? Also, please suggest me whether a degree in interior design is good enough for me getting jobs later on or should i first do architecture and then do a course in interiors..?? Please help me decide.. Thank you!
After finishing bachelor degree in Civil Engineering Can i pursue my Masters in architecture/interior design? I think you get the idea of my question i am a first year student in university and i am studying Civil Engineering and i am really into designing and stuff, so i am wondering after getting my degree can i go and study architecture or interior design (i mostly into architecture more then interior)? And if i can how many years would it be because it is mostly 2 or 1 year and a half? Ps: I don't mind studying Urban planning also since is the same as architecture.
I want to get postgraduate degree,can i continue from bachelor of interior design to master of architecture? i know this seems a bit ridiculous, as most of ppl tend to have bachelor of architecture first.. but i've already taken my path to bachelor of interior design/interior architecture bcoz i love the way of design and planning.. but then i realized too before this i loved drawing buildings too, suffice it to say like an architecture. the reason i didn't take bachelor of architecture was bcoz i dont really like the calculation of architects, math, physics, construction structure of a bulding, etc. i mean.. not so much interested in that part. so then i just consider to take the master of architecture.. with a little regret, but it's ok, i'll learn the basic concepts of architecture first so that it wont be difficult for me to learn the postgraduate degree.. but can i continue through it? as i'm from interior part, not architect itself.. thanks..
interior design vs interior architecture? I am looking into majoring in either interior design or interior architecture, but as I research about them both I can't really see the difference. Can somebody clearly define both careers for me?
Help me choosing the right Interior Design school? Hi. I am planning to study an one year interior design/interior architecture Diploma course;I have no related experiences with any Art courses therefore Chelsea art School, Nottingham Trent etc are out of question. Which school would you recommend, Inchbald, KLC or the Interior Design School? Also please feel free to suggest if there are other recommendations! THANKS
How is Syracuse University when it comes to interior design/ interior architecture? im looking to major in interior design and then interior decorating and i see they have a interior architecture program there. anyone know if it is reputable for the arts and specifically my potential major? im not sure if i want to make the long trek out there if it isn't a college that will blow me away. any advice? specifically from people who have checked it out there?
Where can i find a architecture,interior design,decorating,and landscaping computer game? I am into architecture, interior design, decorating and landscaping. I am looking for an interesting computer game(s) with all of that on there.I have already had the Sims 2 for a few years and I am tired of all the the same things.I want a lot of more things to choose from...like unlimited. I know I could get the Sims 3 but if anyone knows of any other computer game besides the Sims I would appreciate it that very much!
interior design/architecture.....? ok, so i basically know the difference between the two, at least the practical difference, anyway, such as licensing, etc. what my question mainly has to do with is education. from what i can gather, interior architecture requires education and licensing as an actual architect, with a focus on interior design. if you go to school for a bachelor's in interior design, then go for a master of architecture, would that cover all required education? my wife wants to be an interior designer, but would actually prefer to be an interior architect. we will be living in NJ, however, and there are programs for interior design, just not interior architecture. there are, however, programs for architecture itself, so she could feasibly complete a degree in both. is this a good way to go?
What to put in my Interior Architecture/Design portfolio? Hi all... In my mid 20's currently living in London, however will be moving back to Melbourne to live and study Interior Design or Interior Architecture. I want to start working on my portfolio, but am VERY lost as to what I should put in it? Uni's seem very broad on requirements (show creativity!) - should there mainly be perspectives and elevations of interiors? should I combine ideas on exteriors as well? Do you focus on one idea from different angles or a bunch of different concepts? Do you include random sketches as well? photos of inspirational buildings? Any clarification would be appreciated.... Also, do you know if, as a mature student, my work would need to be a higher level then potential students straight from High school? Does anyone know of any great differences between a degree in Interior Architecture as opposed to a degree in Interior Design? And lastly, can anyone recommend the better universities in Melbourne for Int. Design and Architecture? Thank you so much for your help....

what is the difference between interior design majors and architecture majors? i want to have an interior design major because i like remodeling and designing furniture but i realized recently that architecture is technically the same but more of the actually building. i want to also design buildings exterior, interior, and landscape but i dont know what you actually learn when you have an interior design or architecture major. sooo my question is, what is the difference and what do you learn when you have an interior design major and an architecture major?
Creative way to present a project about interior design and architecture? I have to present a project about interior design and architecture and it has to be AMAZING. This is our biggest project of the year and it's due in about two months but I'm already behind. We're allowed to make a powerpoint but it can't be our main way of presenting. The audience is supposed to "participate" but we can't do a quiz or game show. The presentation will be in parts, so any ideas about how I can present some information?

Anyone have first hand experience w/ Interior Design or Interior Architecture programs @the following schools?

Should i take Architecture or Interior Design in University? i'll be applying soon, and i'm wondering which one i should take. well i've always thought that Architectural Science or Environmental Design are "more broad", and on of its branches is Interior Design. but then i found out that at Ryerson University, Arch. Sci. and Interior Design are 2 different courses. Should i rather take Architecture if i don't only want to do Interior Design, but i'm also interested in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning? EDIT: i meant "and *one of its branches"

What are some key terms for interior architecture/design? Hi guys! I hope this is the right section for posting this question (if not, just let me know where would be better). I have a foreign client whose job is as a consultant in commercial real estate development. His specific role is meeting with prospective tenants of a commercial space and going over the configuration of the space to meet the clients' particular needs - he tells the clients whether what they need/desire is technically achievable and whether it is practical in cost. He is not responsible for the actual aesthetic interior design, but rather the nuts & bolts of what can/cannot be done in a space and its cost relation. This client of mine wants to learn the technical terms related to his job. While I've worked as a building inspector before, my specialization was in accessibility, so my knowledge of the terms is quite narrow. My guess is he needs more terminology related to space division (walls, etc.), flooring, ceiling, HVAC, fiber optics, as well as the actual instruments/components of interior building. What would you guys consider the key terms? You can just rattle off a few that strike you as important. IF you know of any illustrations of interior spaces with labelling of architectural terms, that would be an added bonus. I have a few dictionaries of architectural terminology, so you needn't provide detailed descriptions, just the words alone will suffice. Thanks sooooooo much. Thanks, Charles, for your answer. I think he's wanting to learn terms like "suspended cieling", "partitioning", "HVAC", etc. That's the type of stuff I'm looking for. The three I just mentioned are more on the obvious side, but I suppose there must be specific terms (of which I'm ignorant) for other features of interior architecture.

Which Occupation Should I (Possibly) Look Into: Interior Design or Architecture? I'm beginning to think about college and careers. I've been interested in interior design and architecture from a very young age without really realizing, but now I have realized that it may just be something I would love to do. What are the pros and cons of each one? What are the qualities that pertain more to one or the other? What are the college majors like? Is there any way to be both?

architecture and interior design? I'm only a freshman in highschool, but I already know what I want to do in the future. I want to become both an architect and interior designer, but I'm not sure it would work out or not. Will one get in the way of the other? Also, I'm wondering if drawing is a really important part of it because my drawing skills aren't the best, but my math is really good.
is there a field of work that involves both interior design and architecture? I'm thinking about starting my own business that designs houses. Any ideas on how to do this? What degrees would I need?

Also what classes I should take in college, good colleges etc. etc.

College decisions? Architecture/Interior Design major? I'm seventeen, currently a junior in high school in California. I've been looking at colleges a lot lately and I can't seem to find one that fits me. I am definitely going to stay in California, and I'm an A student, so i want to go to a nice school. I'm interested in Architecture AND interior design. However none of the top four year schools offer BOTH. I don't want to go to an art school. I'm highly considering Berkeley and Cal Poly San Luis Obisbo for the Architecture major. I guess what I want to know is, would it make sense for me to get my Architecture degree at Berkeley and THEN pursue my interest in interior design at an art school afterward? I'm not familiar with any of this type of stuff. Do people commonly go to two different schools if they cant find ONE that suits them?
What could be the best for me, architecture or interior design? I am about to graduate from high school and I am preparing for college but I'm not sure what course to take. I like arts but i'm not really gifted with the talent in drawing, especially free hand drawing. But I have done simple technical/mechanical drawing.
Architecture or Interior Design? What is the difference in pay between interior design and architecture. Architecture i would assume makes more but anyone know numbers?

Interior Design and Architecture Dilemma? I'm into architecture and interior design and know I want to be in this field. I think interior design is more up my ally than architecture. However, I know having a degree in arch will allow me to work as an interior design (but not vice versa) and is a much more professional career. I'm tired of explaining that interior designers are not decorators, but I absolutely love the work of an interior designer. I got into the University of Cincinnati for interior design- this is the number one school in the nation for int design. It puts me in a fantastic position & gives me great status to put on a resume. However, I also got into the architecture program at Ball State University. There they offer a minor in interior design- the best of both worlds. What do you think I should do if I'm leaning more towards int. design but want unlimited career opportunities? I know arch. gives me more flexibility, but is it smarter to go to such a special school as UC for i.d.? Or graduate with a minor ..in interior design with a bachelors in architecture? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Interior design/interior architecture? hey, from reading the rather depressing read that is the thread http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=826878 and this http://www.designcommunity.com/discussion/28683.html i am wondering whether interior design/architecture is the same state? and whether it is worth studying for? cheers

I'm looking for a program that will do 3D interior design and architecture.? What is the industry standard program for architecture? Is it still AutoCad? I'm looking for a program that will let me design the interior and exterior of homes, as well as get blueprints from it. Currently I use the Better Homes and Gardens program just to play around with, but I've also used Maya and 3DSM, so I do have a grasp on the more "complex" programs. Cost really isn't an issue! I'm just trying to find the best program available for what I'm trying to do without having to resort to 4 different programs and then mesh it all together! Thanks!! (Oh and I'm not an architect or interior designer! I'm in web and graphic design!)
Do you have to major in interior design to become an interior designer or can you major in architecture? I recently got accepted to U of Illinois, it does not offer an interior design program but it does offer a degree in architecture. I am not certain what I want to be yet but I was curious if the degree in architecture could offer flexibility for my career choice. I want to be sure that if I do end up majoring in architecture I could still possibly be an interior designer. I was also curious if I do want to be an interior designer I could possibly double major with some sort of art and architecture?
What exactly do Interior Architects do? I have applied for Interior Architecture course. but what exactly is it? interior design refers to work with interior of the building.

Art Store- Architecture, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Fine Arts... and so on!? I am currently doing research for an entrepreneurship class with intentions on starting an art supply store. I was thinking of creating a store with intentions of supplying students, design firms, and current artists with specific supplies that may be tough to find in other general art stores. I would love to include some other ideas I have for this (which are plentiful) but also have feedback from other artists and designers and their thoughts. I am an architecture student, but am taking business classes, and I know how it is difficult to get the supplies needed. What are your thoughts? Specific supplies, how much you spend on supplies, what are you looking for that is hard to find, the hours of the stores, and how is the atmosphere in the stores you typically enter? I would love some feedback from the consumers. Thank you!
Does Harvard has a career in Architecture or Interior avaiable? Im in 11th grade. I would like to enter to Harvard (although this might seem impossible).

So, is there a carrer in Architecture or Interior design avaiable for students entering university for the 1st time?

Interior Design advice in California? I live in the Los Angeles Area and am looking to transfer from a Community College to a University or Cal State Spring 2009 (hopefully sooner). I am looking for a reputable school for Interior Design that I can obtain a BFA in Interior Design/Architecture. I looked at CSUN but they offer a Bachelor's in Family Science which I thought was weird. Of course there is OTIS and PARSONS which I would love to get into but couldn't ever afford. What options do I have? I need to stay within the area or at least within the State of California as I do not want to pay out of state tuition. Any advice on schools, financing, scholarships?? I barely have a 3.0 GPA and after this semester it may go down a bit but I do have talent and already am building a pretty decent portfolio. Please share your thoughts....I need advice in a bad way. Also, do designers have much success with certificates only?
