** From Med School To Arch?? **

[ArtisticAthlete32]

Hey, hey, hey! I'm in the process of making a career change and I figured this would be a good forum to get information from. Like the subject says, I'm thinking about ditching the whole med school idea for architecture (but I have a B.S. in Biology). So, my question to you (whoever is reading this) is, is there a difference between being an architect and an architectural designer? I'm really interested on what the inside of a building looks like but I don't know if that's more along the lines of an interior designer or an arch?

My dream job would be designing aquariums & museums but I want an input on what the actual aquarium looks like on the inside. Any ideas? Just in case my thread is a little confusing, I'll give you a scenario: When I walk into an aquarium, I think they're all absolutely fabulous and I'd love to be the person who designed what it looks like!

Thanks.

**Double post because I'm not sure which forum I'll get better responses in.

I'm not an archi but yes I would think the architects design aquarium museums. They would work with a lot of other specialists. Not a hell of a lot aquariums in the world though so the odds of actually getting that job may be extremely low, particularly if you want to be the lead designer and not just another support staff. I would have to guess that interior designers would also be a part of the team.
