Development of Universal Competences of Students when Studying Topical Problems of History and Theory of Architecture

Abstract

   The article focuses on the problems of professional formation through the development of skills based on universal competencies. Globalization processes reveal the problematic vectors of the educational system, making adjustments to the process of training of future architects, where the leading method is design based on intellectual activity aimed at developing semantic and qualitative indicators of objects and phenomena. Professional training of architects in general is focused on introducing to the component of the formation of the scientific picture of the world through the development of the processes of human creative activity, as well as the design of various material objects. The single reference points, on which the steps (sites) of the project activities are based, have been determined. It is necessary to understand that any project is preceded by serious research work, which involves an in-depth study of design systems and techniques, sources of creativity, and the expansion of the artistic language of architecture. It is this kind of work that forms a whole block of universal competencies of future professionals who influence the creative processes in the field of architecture and design. Students' understanding of the current problems of the history and theory of architecture in the context of modern processes in culture, society, and technology, rather than memorizing individual texts, becomes a promising educational vector that ensures interest in improving architectural science.
