Abstract

The education system in architecture will undergo serious changes in the near future. The process of restructuring the whole body of architecture will take over one century, and in this process, the profession itself will face the restructuring of habits gained by architecture. These processes will require a sharp increase in moral reflection inside and outside the profession. All this will put architecture and architectural education in a fundamentally new position, to which architecture is not ready today. The article outlines the points of the renewal of the power of architectural thinking, which are revealed with the help of the principle of individuation and within the esoteric worldview.
