The article deals with issues of applying modern innovative three-dimensional techniques in production and restoration of facade decor elements. Methodology for producing an exact physical copy of a part under restoration is set forth as exemplified by the architectural rosette. It details a methodology of how to conduct virtual digital restoration of a rosette using one of the best software solutions for digital molding, Zbrush, which is a superb tool to create high-definition three-dimensional objects. Two methods of digital restoration are treated: copying and sculpting. The copying method produces the geometric shape of an article consisting of items with identical dimensions. Sculpting is performed using digital molding, i.e. working with digital clay – a more intuitive modeling method compared to traditional techniques. Possible methods of production of the restored physical copy of a damaged rosette, their merits, and demerits are described. The study provides a forecast for development of architectural monument restoration with the use of three-dimensional techniques.

The article is dedicated to the solution of some tasks faced when teaching students of architectural departments and related to insufficient knowledge of technical science. The need for introducing a profound study of such technical disciplines as "Structural performance of materials", "Construction mechanics" into the educational program of architecture students has been proved. Methodological principles for selecting and structuring the contents of the Architetonics discipline have been defined. A project for scientific and methodological support of the Architectonics discipline has been developed. We state that currently there is a wide range of graphical software products allowing students of architectural departments to model various interesting shapes. Along with that, we note that graphic software products do not allow for adequate check of the constructive solution, so educational modeling is frequently limited by solving space-planning and imaginary tasks. A problem of implementing calculation and designing software into the educational architectural designing has been considered. Keywords Architectonics, Design of architectural and engineering structures, Educational program of architecture, Integrated system of strength analysis, Russian engineering education.
