Why did NYIT choose to launch a programme for interior design rather than architecture?

We decided to focus on interior design because when you're introducing design culture, interior design seems more intuitive. Architecture is much more theoretical, complex and collaborative. It requires an extensive background of study; there seems to be quite a bit of interest in design culture here, but there's not enough knowledge of how to approach, utilise and express that interest.

It's our belief that we really need to train people from this region to work in their own environment rather than import designers, which is what has been going on far too long in the region. How does the design culture differ here from in the US? The Gulf region has historically revolved around commerce and maritime life.

So, design, as it relates to the built environment, has always hinged on the availability of materials, geography, climate and things like that. The Gulf has specificity to it so when we talk about it, we need to distinguish it from cities like Cairo, Baghdad, Damascus - larger ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
