"Interior design is an art. It is not a fine art. It cannot luxuriate in its independence as can painting and sculpture, forming itself without regard to any but aesthetic demands. It is, instead, a hardworking art, with serious and sometimes mundane problems to solve. . . . Interior design is also a craft. Technique and experience count a lot in this field, just as they do in the finest of fine arts. . . . [Expertise] is achieved through the increasingly rigorous education that our profession requires and through the subsequent practical application of that education." Stanley Abercrombie, FAIA
