    Formative Assessment 1: Understanding Interior Architecture, Architecture, and Interior
    Design profession

    Architecture is defined as the art and technique of designing and building


    architectural structures like residential buildings, houses, commercial buildings, bridges, and
    roads, among others. It is a practice associated with construction, though it is distinguished
    by its fulfillment to serve the utilitarian and aesthetic aspects of a construction project. Thus,
    it is concerned with achieving the practical and expressive requirements of the design and
    planning of structures and facilities that are functional, cost-efficient, modifiable, and resilient
    against any disasters (COURSES.com.ph, n.d.). In a design project, architects are tasked
    with several responsibilities during all its stages, chiefly in design and project planning. As
    such, they are in charge of creating the overall visual appearance of the structure.

    To be an architect, one must first earn a five-year bachelor’s degree in architecture,


    where students are trained to be professional architects through developing their skills and
    learning the various theories and disciplines in the architectural field. In the latter years of the
    program, architecture students are tasked with attending on-the-job training in architectural
    firms to apply their acquired knowledge and skills in an actual work setting. After completing
    the program, graduates must first undergo a two-year internship with an architect that will
    supervise, train, and review their work before they can try to earn a professional license.
    After their internship, only then can they earn licensure by passing the Architecture
    Licensure Examination (ALE).

    While architecture deals with the overall visual appearance and design of a structure,
    interior architecture gives more emphasis on the interior and functionality of space for human
    occupancy. It merges art and science to create, restore, and readapt interior spaces. This
    type of architecture focuses more on the indoor or enclosed areas of a structure, and its
    practice is usually employed in retrofitting, renovating, rehabilitating, or expanding interior
    environments (MasterClass, 2021). Hence, interior architects are responsible for building
    and rebuilding the inside of a structure. They are also involved in creating the architectural
    layout of the engineering systems found in a building, which is why they also approach their
    design process on a more technical level. To be an interior architect, one must also undergo
    the same process of being a fully-fledged architect since having a license is also a
    requirement for this job.

    Another field that overlaps with interior architecture is interior design. It is defined as
    a specialized branch of architecture focusing on space planning and creating aesthetically
    pleasing designs specifically for the interiors of homes and businesses inside a built
    environment or existing structures (MasterClass, 2021). It is closely related to architecture,
    but what sets these three apart is that architecture is concerned with both the interior and
    exterior of a structure; interior architecture focuses more on interior spaces; and interior
    design gives more emphasis on decorating interior spaces with furniture, lighting, and
    accents.

    Becoming an interior designer requires taking a four-year bachelor’s degree in


    interior design where students would study the different concepts of art and technical
    methods in building interiors, discuss concepts related to architecture and engineering, as
    well as learn about home accessories and furniture (Valencia, 2015). After completing the
    program, graduates can also take internships to gain more experience in doing actual
    interior design work. Furthermore, they must also pass the Interior Design Licensure
    Examination to become licensed interior designers.
