Artist’s Statement:
"The most important raw material for an interior designer is space.
It is the spatial layout that determines the primary effect of an interior situation. Therefore, the careful and creative modulation of space is the core task of every interior designer.
Since this manipulation of space is a matter of both aesthetic and functional consideration, it requires a basic knowledge in many diverse fields, spanning from art history to zoning laws. Nevertheless, the interior designer’s key-qualification is the field of aesthetics. Highly functional interiors are the minimum requirement, yet it is the outstanding aesthetic quality that is the hallmark of an excellent design.
Therefore, the focus of an interior design education is of a dual nature. It has to teach the students a pragmatic selection of basic knowledge and skills in all major areas related to interior design while keeping the strong focus on the aesthetic aspects of the profession."
