HYLAND sort of Devil of which great personalities are frequently possessed." Great decorators, too, are not technocrats but great personalities who express themselves by way of rooms, interpreting, too, of course, the needs and predilections of their clients. The New York School of Interior Design, apart from teaching the technical exigencies now required of every designer, possesses its greatest asset in its faculty, over 140 practicing interior designers—and architects, textile designers, engineers, artists, art, historians and photographers—who transmit to their students not only technical skill, but the less quantifiable—and ultimately more valuable—lessons of connoisseurship, aesthetics and personal experience with clients. NYSID is more than a place of instruction, it is a zone of mentorship— of nuanced apprenticeship—within New York City. The latter, of course, is an immeasurably rich resource—with its museums, houses and showrooms—for students of design. Nothing can replace the thing itself. Graduates of NYSID are prepared for their profession, participating in what HYLAND Editor-in-Chief Christopher Hyland—in the company, incidentally, of Thomas Jefferson—believes to be a profession vital to the economy, the generation of jobs, prosperity and, above all, to an infrastructure, a built world, that radiates well- being as well as functionality.
