How

• Devote research into a body of knowledge applicable to the interior design profession in Hong Kong

Education:

• Put greater emphasis on professional practice and issues relating to public health, safety and well being into interior design curriculum
• Develop continuing education for interior design practitioners

Examination:

• Devote research into interior examination in other countries around the world
• Develop appropriate content for a local professional examination for interior designers
