The article contains a detailed analysis of software systems used in information modeling technologies. The comparative characteristics of the advantages and disadvantages of the software of domestic and foreign developers are presented. Two of the most popular on the Russian market — Revit and Renga - are considered in detail. As a result of the analysis carried out taking into account the needs of the construction market, the conclusion is formulated that the use of the Renga program requires significantly less labor to master. It is also important that the cost of this software is significantly lower than that of competitive analogues. The active implementation of such systems in design organizations can significantly speed up design work and avoid mistakes at many stages of the investment and construction process. In organizations that use TIM technologies in their work, all participants will have the opportunity to act according to a single scenario with the interchangeability of employees, which significantly accelerates the receipt of the final product.

The article analyzes the shaping of buildings and structures in modern architectural practice. Form in architecture is primarily a means of expressing and translating concepts. It's also what ultimately fills and divides the space we live in. Form in architecture can have great symbolic and cultural significance and can transform a space for the better or for the worse. The simplest of the forms are known as primary forms. The main shapes include circles, triangles and squares. Each form can be created by a combination of basic forms. When rotated or expanded, basic shapes can create three-dimensional volumes known as basic bodies. In modern architectural practice, it is very common to resort to the use of complex shapes created using spatial curves. The task of the architect is a complete visual representation of such forms in drawings, as well as using modern software graphics packages. The article raises the problem of the correct interpretation of architectural forms formed by such spatial curves (using the Hilbert curve as an example).

The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of using modular home building technology. Modular construction is determined by approaches that do not follow traditional methods. The system is reduced to the assembly of prefabricated buildings from individual modules. These modular elements are usually manufactured at the factory. This helps to remove weather restrictions, reduces the risk of a shortage of labor on the spot. Placed on the foundation, the individual modules are assembled into a complete modular structure. With modular housing construction, the possibilities and choices are quite limitless. There is always an opportunity to make an individual design. In prefabricated houses, it is possible to use modules equipped with water supply, sewerage, heating and electricity systems. The article presents an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the modular design. The advantages are listed in terms of quality, economy, time and ecology, as well as in terms of design flexibility and work safety, both during production and during installation on the construction site. The disadvantages of the modular design are also considered - complex transportation of modules requiring coordination of production and construction, the high cost of production and its typification.
