MODELING THE CONTENT AND CONCEPTUAL APPARATUS FOR THE SUBJECT AREA "ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN" AS AN OBJECT OF STUDY IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The development of theoretical foundations and quality education in architecture and environmental design is hampered by insufficient development of the specifics of professional qualifications and training in various specialized areas. Drawing clear boundaries between them is not possible due to the interpenetration of many adjacent sections. The purpose of the study is to clarify and systematize the ideas about environmental design as a subject area in the transdisciplinary space of architecture and design, as well as art and science, in the form of conceptual models system, reflecting key values, content and basis of the categorical and conceptual apparatus of environmental design in a holistic and easily accessible form, necessary for identifying environmental design as an interdisciplinary art form and training direction. The article makes a contribution to the development of the theoretical base and concept of environmental design as a type of design and research activity. The use of conceptual models makes it possible to generalize and accelerate the process of assimilation and systematization of knowledge in the field of interdisciplinary aspects of environmental design, to increase the awareness of the need for self-education of environmental designers throughout their lives.
