The topic of intercultural competence (ICC) is important because it is how interior designers implement their understanding of culture into applicable solutions. Intercultural competence is important to your overall knowledge of ethnic culture, business, or organizational culture, to name a few contexts. Because we live in - and are designing for - a multi-cultural world, designers need to understand how their design solutions can help to achieve culturally centered goals. This presentation will introduce the topic of intercultural competence to the interior design practitioner, provide guidance to navigate the topic, and explain why it is needed for career advancement and expansion of professionalism.
