A group of about 10seasoned interior design educatorshave volunteered to field phone callsfrom practitioners who have read theBelieve Brochure or seen the IDEA-Line advertised in other venues.Approximately 35 practitioners havecontacted the volunteer faculty whothen field questions on degree types,institutions, funding….all in thepursuit of a resource for practitionersto get to the next step of talking withspecific schools about teaching orgraduate education. At this time,several practitioners have completeda graduate degree and are teachinginterior design in higher educationinstitutions.CIDA ACCREDITATIONSInitial Accreditation:Villa Maria CollegeBachelor of Fine ArtsReaccreditation:Columbia College ChicagoBachelor of Fine Arts in InteriorArchitectureIndiana UniversityBachelor of Science in Interior DesignInterior Designers InstituteBachelor of Arts in Interior DesignMarymount UniversityBachelor of ArtsMarymount UniversityMaster of Arts in Interior DesignMichigan State UniversityBachelor of ArtsStephen F.

ResearchRESEARCH ACTIVITIESIN INTERIOR DESIGNGregory Marinic, ResearchActivities EditorHealthy Building NetworkLaunches Online MaterialResearch InitiativeThe Materials Research Collaborative, a two-year projectof the Healthy Building Network (HBN), endeavorsfor the interior design community to more proactivelyparticipate in sustainable practices. MRC advocates forreducing use of building products that are hazardous tohuman health, while simultaneously enhancing marketdemand for ecological building products. Supportedby the ASID with a $100,000 grant, MRC willprovide interior designers with independently verifiedinformation that identifies hazardous materials andbetter alternatives. MRC plans to offer information forpublic access via the Pharos online database and analysissystem, an HBN-sponsored project and industry leaderin transparent access to chemical and material propertiesof building products. MRC is funded by the ASID’sInterior Design Research Grant Program and focuses onapplied research in interior design and human behavior.The program annually awards up to three grants of up to$35,000 each. “The Foundation’s grant program enablesthe profession to build a base of knowledge about howinterior design impacts human behavior and well-being,”said Judy Pickett, FASID, ASID Foundation Chair.“With this new and updated evidence-based research,designers are given relevant information that they areable to use with all clients in all areas of design. Nothinggets more powerful than that.” Research proposals mustdemonstrate practical applications for both interiordesigners and their clients. ASID grants may be used asstart-up funds for projects. Design professionals, clients,scientists, educators, and interdisciplinary collaborationsare eligible to apply.Historical, Formal, andStructural Implicationsof Computer-ControlledFabricationRecent research by Kevin Klinger, Director of theInstitute for Digital Fabrication at Ball State Universityasserts that digital output from computer modelingrepresents a significant new method for visualizationand fabrication in architectural design. Klinger suggeststhat an ability to move directly from three-dimensionalmodeling to three-dimensional output challenges theneed for traditional means of representation, such asplans and sections. Through an integration of designstudio and digital fabrication, his students investigatethe need to convert architectural intentions into acode translated by the contractor and tested withnew fabrication tools. Klinger’s recently publishedessays scrutinize underlying issues of design processby developing architectural solutions that use thecomputer as a tool for three-dimensional visualizationas well as for three-dimensional fabrication. Precedentresearch in historic architectural form, seen throughthe lens of fabrication, provides a foundation forexamining structural and fabrication techniques usingcomputer-generated expressive forms. Klinger’s digitalseminars study a series of rapid prototypes that employvisualization-fabrication as an integrated process ofideas-to-research-to-methods for making digital design.Supporting his initiatives, the interdisciplinary Institutefor Digital Fabrication at Ball State University appliescreative research and development to develop knowledge,products, tools, software, and brands that can beabsorbed by various industries.27
