B3 Designers

Architectural Interior Designers, also sometimes referred to as InteriorArchitectural Designers, are skilled professionals who bridge the fields of architecture and interior design. Simply put, they apply knowledge from both of these fields to make sure that a client’s home, or office, looks good and lasts long.

The people who opt for this challenging field need to start preparing themselves academically during their college years. Computer Aided Designing (CAD) is a very handy skill to have, along with photography, and structure systems design. An aspiring architectural interior designer should be familiar with construction techniques and the process of creating sustainable structures. A good knowledge of physics is invaluable in this field, as the structural design of a building is usually created keeping in mind various laws of physics. Some knowledge about the tectonic structure of the area (where the building will be constructed) is also essential and should be acquired prior to beginning the designing process. If the area has a history of earthquakes, it is up to the designer to make sure the constructed building will be able to withstand all but the most devastating earthquakes.

An architectural interior designer will often have to work closely with construction workers and should also know how to interact with these people properly. So having people management skills is certainly a great bonus.

Architectural interior designing involves long working hours and hard labor, but the result is quite satisfactory, both emotionally and financially. An experienced designer can expect to be paid well for his efforts. Besides, the smiles of satisfaction and praises from the client make it all worth it.
