Nechayev. [Projective modeling as a creative activity (psychological foundations of higher architectural education): dissertation abstract for the degree of Doctor of Psychology Sciences]

Abstract:
[Here are determined the methodological grounds for considering modeling as creative activity. The advantages of proposed course of pre-project exercises are shown too, which give students a real opportunity to carry out a logically consistent and psychologically conscious theoretical approach to professional material. Based on primary ideas and concepts, students rise to such level of development of the psychological structure of professional actions, that allows them professionally understanding for real difficulties of educational architectural design. The theoretical attitude to projected reality in course of its own development begins, as it were, to negate itself, naturally developing into the desire to practically transform the spatial environment. This creates the necessary psychological prerequisites for further development of professional consciousness, its transformation at some "practical" level of professionalization, which forms the student-architect as a serious artist in the space. Three main stages of the process of formation of the professional creative activity of an architect are also analyzed.]
