Fundamental Principles of Design Modeling in Modern Design Practice

Statement of the problem. The significance of the fundamental principles of design modeling in modern design practice from antiquity to the present is examined. The theoretical studies of modern scientists devoted to the universals of architecture, philosophy, culture and education are investigated in order to identify the trends in the formation of principles. Results.Architectural objects of different styles from antiquity to the present were analyzed and the principles of design modeling of various eras were identified. Classical, non-classical and post-non-classical science in the field of formation of architectural activity is discussed and the scheme “Diversity of the Principles of Classical and Post-Non-Classical Science (Synergy)” is developed. The author's hypothesis for the formation of a typology of design modeling principles and the concept of using the design modeling principles to identify verbal and figurative-graphic creativity in the search for an architectural project idea are set forth. Conclusions. The fundamental principles of design modeling are identified and compiled, accompanied by the author's sketches, and examples of the use of the principles in modern architectural practice are given.
