This article examines the integration of traditional and digital methods in contemporary architectural practice and education. The aim of the study is to identify the optimal balance between these approaches in the professional training of architects. Based on an analysis of historical experience, modern educational programs, and theoretical concepts, their unique advantages and limitations are identified. The research methodology includes a comparative analysis and a sociological survey of students at an architectural and construction educational institution. Manual drawing retains a critical role in conceptual exploration and the development of creative thinking, despite the dominance of digital tools as a mandatory market requirement (the survey results confirm the trend toward a hybrid approach). It is concluded that a synthesis of traditional and digital methods in curricula is necessary to prepare architects capable of innovation without losing the artistic component of the profession.
