Atlas Archive

Coming soon

 The European Council of Interior Architects (ECIA) launches The Atlas project. It forms part of a larger project called “Building on Connections for a Stronger Profession” (BCSP) funded by the European Union.

The Atlas Archive is a pioneering digital repository designed to centralize and share knowledge in the discipline of interior architecture. It will become the library of all interior activity, from research to practice. Its goal is to become the go-to Wiki-Interior, holding a broad range of knowledge from building reuse, materiality, wellbeing, the green transition, interior theory, spatial perception, atmospheres, different methods of planning, products, tools and software, up to building codes and regulations.

It will be tailored to different learning needs referring to a variety of media: from podcasts and recorded talks and events, to journals, books, magazines, brochures, drawings, interior photography, videos such as tutorials or film, websites and apps.

The ATLAS is an ever-growing, community-based project. It grows with the submissions of content from all interior architects and designers, educators, researchers, specialist planners and trades, producers, representatives, and policy makers across Europe and beyond.

ATLAS Archive serves Interior Architecture practitioners who wish to further their own knowledge in their field or provide their own body of knowledge to the community.

To ensure a high quality of resources, every contribution uploaded will be checked thoroughly by our research team to meet ECIA standards of accuracy, completeness, and relevance to the field, and reflect principles of non-discrimination in line with European values.

Its wider goal is to increase recognition of the profession, the professionalization of interior activity through a deepened, more comprehensive understanding of its impacts and potentials, the fostering of innovative practices and research, and a proactive preparation towards the discipline’s future under the European Green Deal.
