The research emphasized the lack of research on interior design in the middle-east as general and in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan specially. Every profession begins with strong education and this education has to be researched about if we want to have a successful education and professor.
-The second seminar focused on the latest pedagogical methods applied or thought to be applied in interior and architecture. This through considering the generation change and technological development.
-The third seminar highlighted the necessity of adaptive design to the nature and taking inspiration from living things. This can be from the system of how the mechanism of living things work on mimicking it or just repeating what is seen in the natural things.
-The forth seminar discussed the nature of architecture and interior design as a multi-disciplinary nature, starting from art, science, human science and social sciences. So intertwining research between these different disciplines gives a strong ground to us understand better from the disciplines and work collaborating.
