RAMIREZ MARTINEZ, Claudia. Reasoned Exclusion of Interior Design in the curricula of the Faculty of Habitat, UASLP. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.15, pp.686-709. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v8i15.316.

Introduction: The knowledge of interior design is included in the contents of the different schools and universities and design schools in Mexico. His approach involves some criticism, once it has also a perception as a sub-discipline of design or as a technical level knowledge. Looking at the international tendency that includes in its curricular plans the subjects of interior design, Mexican institutions of design cannot put aside it.

Objective: This research aims to reflect the inclusions or exclusions proposed in the different curricular plans of the Facultad del Habitat of the Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi, being one of the institutions with a recognition of 45 years of existence.

Method: Through a documentary study, this paper shows the approaches given in the curricula of the different careers proposed by the Facultad del Habitat. Diverse approaches were considered as same as the reasons for values of exclusion or inclusion that interior design has had in each one of the careers; very particularly in the careers of architecture, urban and landscape design as well as industrial design, all of them were analyzed and chronologically detailed.

Results: Since the review of the curricula, we establish the different reasons and conceptual implications given by figures and conceptual maps in their use of the various chronological approaches. The subjects and the courses implemented in the 45 years of existence of the Facultad del Habitat were also revisited.

Conclusion: The disaggregation and the obtained reasons allow us to identify the courses with interior design contents showing that although the Facultad del Habitat does not currently directly raise a degree in interior design, its learning and transmission to the students has been given throughout its curricular history. The themes proposed and their suitability in the professional field of each one of the formations shows that the Facultad del Habitat considers divers trends in interior design.
