The article examines the evolution of architectural design technologies from antiquity to the present. It describes the key methods of measurement, drafting, and visualization, the transition from empirical methods to systematic approaches, the development of descriptive geometry, and the implementation of mechanized and digital tools (CAD, BIM). The impact of technological transformations on the accuracy, aesthetics, and functionality of architectural solutions is analyzed, as well as the prospects of parametric design, generative design, and artificial intelligence. This work is relevant for both professionals and a wide audience interested in the history and future of design.
