They need to have a knowledge of and insight into the factors that safeguard the health and well-being of the uses of buildings and interiors. They need to study and understand the ethics of the profession as well as the organisational, financial and legal aspects relating to design.
Clients need to be confident in a practitioner’s ability to work within budgets, building codes and other related regulations.
Design professionals need to be able to communicate a design and undertake the necessary research and preparation of a project. They need to know how to manage a project, talk to clients and deal with fellow professionals and the public effectively.
Frazer Macdonald Hay, Chairman of SBID’s
Education Panel, was a member of the working party on the Charter.
Frazer said: “The aim of this Charter review is to develop a strategy supporting the industry of interior architecture and look at how to bring us closer to the status of engineering and architecture. Raising levels of expertise in, and respect for, interior architecture ensures that the planners, builders, politicians and, ultimately, the general public are better informed on how good interior architecture is an effective and, I believe, essential ingredient to better living.”
Kees Spanjers added: “Another key aim of the charter is to encourage the exchange of knowledge, ideas and best practices among our member countries. We want greater interaction between people
within the ECIA community, whether they are students, educators or design professionals.”
The European Charter of Interior Architecture Training 2013 was formally accepted by the 16 member countries of the ECIA at its general assembly in Amsterdam in September last year.
Joke van Hengstum, President of the ECIA, said: “Since its inception, the ECIA has been working to raise standards in our industry across the continent and get proper recognition for the professions of interior architect and interior designer. The new European Charter of Interior Architecture Training 2013 is a step towards achieving those goals.”
