Abstract

Interior architecture is a rapidly developing discipline in the field of environmental design and architecture. During the recent decades it has gained additional importance because of the increased existing building stock and the need to adapt them to contemporary life. Parallel to this, the education activities focusing on the discipline of interior architecture have started to change and develop. This article discusses the importance of structured educational programs in the field of interior architecture by focusing on the example of ITU in both undergraduate and graduate levels.
