HiI'm a research student from Portugal and have been reading about role models in architecture.  The studies by James Ackerman (1969) in the book Listen to Architecture and latter by Burgess, Garrott, Lebewitz define five models of Architect role models as the Egoist, Pragmatist, Facilitator, Technical Assistance Giver and Advocate. Latter Jakobson (1970) defines six models divided in two groups as the Utopian, Scientist, Humanist, Bureaucrat, Activist and Liberal. I was wondering if anyone knows of any similar study in the Interior Design profession?
