Just a short while ago an architect could not imagine that computer technologies will come to his aid. Being the drawing master that he is, he spends an enormous amount of time combining artistic experience with handdrafting. The instability and fickleness of various processes in architectural activities further complicate the work on a project. Much has to be redone, in order to come up with the best combination of "usefulness, durability, and beauty" in an installation (M. Vitruvius). It is necessary to keep in mind, however, that the main tools of an architect were: a paper, a pencil, a ruler, and Indian ink (which cannot be erased or amended). Figure 1. Student's work (Ink) Now everything has changed. Starting in about the 80's or 90's of the past century, developments in the milieu of computerized 2D sketching for DOS have been evolving one after another. In 1993 the AutoCad12 software for Windows operating system has already become more popular and available to all. Impetuous development and employment of new information technologies enriches the expression palette of an architect and simplifies routine activities. The pace of a planner's work increases as the time it requires to alter the composition of a project and its certain parts is compressed. However, the employment of computer technologies usually evokes the opposition of "traditionalists", that do not accept any kind of intrusion, especially technological, in the design process. This can largely be explained by the fact that unskillful and unintelligent use of a computer can lead to opposite results. For example, an architect, being attracted by new means that new graphic software presents for visualization, often forgets about the core of the project. This also explains the fact that first-year students at architectural institutes usually complete their graphic work by hand, thereby perceiving not only the diversity of project graphics, but the volumetric and spatial composition, the harmony and unity of an installation. Using the example of a small architectural bureau typical for Russia and the method of teaching architectural design at higher education institutes, one can examine the technologies that have been implanted in the architectural designing process more closely. The process of architectural design is divided into several stages: measurement taking and photo fixing, drafting, the project stage, work documentation, follow-on.
