Continuity of the Paradigm “Teacher – Student – Genius” in Architectural Education

The concept of the pedagogical method of training an architect, formed in the architectural school of the Moscow Institute of Architecture (MARKHI), is described. The methods and approaches of some outstanding teachers of the MARKHI, who formed the basic principles and methods of training architects and which the author is guided by throughout his pedagogical activity, are presented. The main, fundamental principles that unite the methods of teaching the art of architecture are to lay the foundations for spatial thinking, architectural composition and figurative vision, which are so necessary in the profession of an architect, to teach how to work both independently and in a team, to respect the opinions of colleagues, to accept criticism.
