The course "Ethnocultural Traditions in Contemporary Design" provides study mechanisms of translation of ethno-cultural forms and meanings in objects and images of contemporary design. Ethnocultural approach in design within the tradition-innovation model is considered. The regional identity of the project culture is considered in the context of historical, ethno-cultural, artistic and spiritual traditions. The mechanisms of comprehension at the morphological level of the ethno-cultural traditions of a particular ethnos, the ideological-plastic projections of its mythological representations, the symbolic-semantic filling as a basis for the formation of specific design objects are being updated. The purpose of teaching the discipline is the formation of systemic knowledge in the field of ethno-design among young scientists, the ability to research and translate the meanings of ethno-cultural traditions and the specificity of form-formation in contemporary images and works of design.
