Spider Models Research. Mapping the diversity to compare the degree of professionalisation of the Interior Architecture discipline in each country (WP 5-7).
Abstract
This study executed for the European Council of Interior Architects ECIA, examines the differences in the degree of professionalisation between European countries. Second, it investigates what kind of knowledge professional organisations in Europe need to professionalise the discipline. It does so by looking how the discipline is regulated in the various European countries by three components, education, professional organisations and by the law. This research is a subproject of the European funded ECIA-BCSP project: Building on connections for a stronger profession.Researcher(s)

Abstract
This preliminary research focuses on the regulation of the profession of Interior Architect in Europe - regulation by education, by law and national professional organisations. It has been conducted on behalf of ECIA, the European umbrella organisation of interior architecture national professional organisations. The aim of this short term study is to develop a research methodology - by studying the situation within three member countries (France, Norway and Germany) - that can be applied in a follow up study on the professionalization process of all ECIA member states. The study comprehends three phases: (1) a descriptive study, (2) a normative study and (3) writing the final report and recommendations.Researcher(s)
