Architectural Identity: The Potential of Project Activity in Civil Engineering

The article is relevant due to the fact that there are gaps related to the practical study of architectural identity. A feature of the modern educational process is its focus on the preparation of architectural specialties. The lack of in-depth knowledge and practical skills in this area leads to architectural design errors, resulting in significant damage to the image of cities and settlements. The environment created by the same type of civil engineering is uncomfortable to live in and does not play the main role of architecture as an environment reflecting the socio-cultural values of a particular region. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the application of design teaching methods in the study of the architectural identity of cities and rural settlements. The authors propose a model for organizing the project work of architecture students in the study of architectural identity.
