Assumptions of interdisciplinarity in educating interior designers

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity in the context of educational programmes in higher education, focusing, in particular, on architecture and interior design are discussed in this article. Thorough analysis of interdisciplinarity in interior design led to a conclusion that learning outcomes of art need to be expanded by technical sciences related to engineering competencies (architecture and urban planning) and even agricultural, forestry and veterinary sciences (including, for example, gardening). Through case studies, the new Bachelor programme, Interior and Landscape Design (ILD), was established in 2016 in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture at West Pomeranian University of Technology (FCEA-WPUT), Szczecin, Poland. The FCEA-WPUT programme, with its interdisciplinary paradigm, should ensure a more complete development of the skills and attributes vital for modern professional interior designers.
