The first year of architectural education

Abstract

The article reflects the dissatisfaction with the situation in the process of training future architects. The apparent crisis of the architectural profession has been caused not only by external factors, decreasing its prestige, but also by internal factors, connected with the changes in the nature of education and the decrease in responsibility in the preparation of new personnel. The authors analyze the essence of teaching the core disciplines in the first year of training and consider it right to return to the gradual mastering of architectural design, tracing the logic and results of a long-established process, which in recent decades has been substantially transformed.
