Abstract

Interior design is one of the disciplines associated with architecture that plays a role in the design and construction of a building. The relationship between interior design and architecture is a pervasive issue today. Since interior design was not separated from architecture in the past, while it is now independent of architecture. The main question of this research is the relationship between these two and their continuity and coalescence. Searching for this question began by exploring the etymology of interior design discipline, i.e. knowing its origin and evolutions. In other words, the design of interior spaces has been studied from the past to current times with recollecting historical events. The recognition of factors forming the interior design profession was provided by reviewing the changes of designing interior spaces from the past to the renaissance period, its transformation in the post-industrial period and also recognition of the emergence of the decoration profession. Then, the way of transforming this profession to discipline and its specialized characteristics in relation to architecture concluded to recognizing the status of interior design discipline in current situation.
