The article is devoted to optimization of application of complex approach of formation of the professional competence in Architecture and Environmental Design. This work aimed to identify the conditions for the formation of professional competence using modular educational programs. In accordance with the set problems, the following tasks were solved: the state of the modern domestic and foreign design education was analyzed, the specifics of the designers training was substantiated, the essence of the concept professional competence and the requirements for the professional competence of future specialists were clarified, the methods of intensification of the educational process using modular educational programs were identified.
The methodological novelty of the study is the formation of a curriculum in the direction "Design of the architectural environment" on the basis of modular training, the development of new approaches in the activity of teaching staff, the construction of the trajectory of the creative development of future designers and the coordination of the work of teachers within the framework of the modular curriculum. The module system allows adjusting the content, updating the modules promptly, depending on changes in the requirements of the current labor market or the demand for a particular specialization. The authors determine the conditions under which the formation of future designers of the architectural environment will be most effective in solving problems and corresponding to modern requirements of professional competence and adapting the students to the modern labor market.
The results of the research were theoretically and practically justified and presented in the completed educational creative projects of the discipline “Architectural and project design”. As a result of the work, the effectiveness of using modular training for the preparation of future environmental design architects and the formation of their professional competence in the passed course were revealed.
