Читать книгу Professional Practice for Interior Designers - Christine M. Piotrowski - Страница 108

One of the interesting things about the profession of interior design is that there are numerous ways in which someone can work in the profession. Of course, most readers are familiar with residential interior design, which is the design of houses and private living spaces. The other is commercial interior design, which is the design of many kinds of public businesses and private or government facilities. However, there are many other career options beyond these two traditionally considered careers.

There are many specialty career areas that focus on a narrower or even an additional range of knowledge and skills. Such options as lighting design, barrier‐free design consulting, design of housing for seniors, and interior design management are only a few.

This section explains many of these career options so that readers can get an idea of the work of the specialty. It is not all‐inclusive, because one could argue that a focus on any one type of space or service also creates a specialty.
