Features of supplementary architectural education in the modern world

based on the features of modern architectural practice and the methods of professional education of architects in Russia and foreign countries, the article analyzes the substantial features of supplementary architectural education. In the system of continuous architectural education, three stages are distinguished, providing structural, substantive and institutional links. The presence of professional content components in the process of pre-university architectural education is proven. The importance of educational communications for the development of architecture and the need to exchange new knowledge of architects with representatives of related professions are justified. Obtaining new knowledge from other professional subjects of architectural activity is necessary for architects to introduce technical, environmental, social innovations in construction and ensure the competitiveness of Russian design companies in the international labor market. Requirements for public participation in the assessment of architectural projects are contained in modern urban planning legislation of developed countries. Therefore, a lack of understanding of the prospects for the development of the territory and other factors that indicate a lack of architectural knowledge among the public can lead to significant errors. Which proves the importance of developing public directions of supplementary architectural education. The article gives definitions of subjects of architectural and urban planning activities, supplementary and supplementary professional architectural education of children, supplementary professional education for the subjects of architectural and urban planning activity and public supplementary architectural education.
