2024 Future Scan

The Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) 2024 Future Scan is now available. The 2024 Future Scan is the latest addition in a series of scanning activities undertaken to forecast changes influencing interior design practice and professional education for interior designers. The most recent 2024 Future Scan is a robust, high-level summary of macro-trends impacting the built environment now and in the foreseeable future with discussion questions to help guide community engagement.

The 2024 Future Scan was created to inform CIDA’s leadership summit recently held at TVS Architecture and Interior Design in Atlanta, GA. CIDA’s biennial future scan and summit are conducted to both predict and respond to the myriad rapid changes impacting interior design. CIDA’s Board and Standards Committee use results of these activities to refine the accreditation standards for interior design higher education.
