An Architect or an Interior Designer?

This is a simple version of a matrix where both a designer and architect are working on a project. On larger jobs the matrix can be quite complex; additional tasks, responsibilities and consultants may need to be added.
On smaller projects there may not be an architect involved and the ID may assume responsibility for planning applications and building regulations, although of course specialist consultants must be used for any elements which are beyond the scope of the ID’s qualifications, such as structural etc.
