- An architect designs the exteriors and basic interiors of buildings. An interior designer/architect designs the interior details of a building. An interior architect also has the knowledge of structural elements therefore can change major structural parts of the interiors of buildings. Typical day is longer than an average work day, normally 8-5 or 9-6 as these careers require a lot of detailed work.
- Building off of what Ally said: Interior designers often deal with paint color and furniture, while an interior architect will design certain architectural details which are hard to put in a building afterwards. An interior architect may also work on layout issues, like how to layout cubicles efficiently, etc.
