Hi everybody,

I wonder if I can get some useful advice from this discussion about these two different fields of the industry , I mean I need general opinions from Interior designers , architects and ofcourse 3Dspeciallists about the interesting things & disadvantages of these two fields and the difference between them in working and presentation....and so for
I don't know if this session is covered before also or not,anyway all replies are greatly respected.

many thanks .

Hi IHAB!

I would stick to Architecture!! because.........

1. Architects do exteriors & interiors (well we do anyway in our office!!).

2. Moneys much better in architecture (trust me, I've seen both sides!).

3. Architects & Technicians are needed all over the UK.

4. Buildings generally have a shelf-life of about 20-25 years - So theres always going to be work available.

5. Almost (anyone) can call theselves an interior designer.

The only thing I see going for Interior Design is that theres more women on Interior Design courses than in architecture!! "You know what I'm trying to say!"

Regards,

Ifty

I guess it depends also on which you like better and can give more in it.

Interior Designers typically make abotu 30% more, for various reasons. It requires less education, less stress, etc., etc.

But, if architecture is your passion, you can't do it within the interior design field (generally speaking). Architect's can design interiors, but it's rare that they do more than formal things (again, general statement).

While pursuing my undergrad degree in arch, I thought about switching to interiors. I love them both, but decided to go on to get a masters in arch as well.

Just depends on what you are interested in. Also, I know several people that got an undergrad in interior design, then a masters in architecture. That's probably the best compromise. Architect's can design anything, but rarely does it really happen on a regular basis.

Yre right Mic , we sure need them both , but the idea is which can be done through the other or what is better according to everybody' s own piont of view,its not an arrgument , I just want to hear you guys , I've been working as an architect for about 4 years know ,but recently tried interior design , I felt some challengeship to do it through architecture but frankly it has its own difficulty which need experience & specialists.

And most renderers I know are former architects. They switched to have more freedom and better pay. I came into rendering from art/illustration so I'm not an architect or interior designer. There is that third direction, but if you are interested in becomeing a proper professional (instead of just some guy with a computer like me) and have the opportunity to go to college (which I didn't really have) then that is your best avenue. You can always get trained in arch. or Int. and still be a renderer later if you want.
