Critical thinking is a dualistic concept that couples modes of designing with decisive theories of criticism. A model of intellectual understandings is proposed as necessary for criticism and the types of critics using this criteria arc reviewed. Theoretical and historical ideas that influenced changes in interior design and architecture are presented in a time‐line context to illustrate the aspects of evaluating, interpreting and describing, which are parts of interior design criticism.
