[摘要] The paper presents a historical perspective on the emergence and development of Russian monotowns. It also studies the lack of a case-by-case approach to the modern Russian monotowns architectural appearance formation of as well as contemporary creative approaches to the design process of architectural works and design. This paper makes the case for creative approaches to the creation modern objects in the monotown's architectural space. It provides an example of a creative approach to the architectural object design, at the initial designing stage enabling to individualize a future project, reflecting a part of the author's creative self-identity. A "self-concept" is given as an example of a design approach. That approach ensured the use of a graph unit - a prototype-based visual component formation of the organization corporate identity, reflected both in the building architecture, small architectural objects, and in design items. The visualization, accompanying the paper, is made by students - future architects.
