Résumé	Structural Form-Finding is a computational method for discovering structural geometries that are efficient under given loads and constraints. Pioneered by Heinz Schek in 1974, it reverses traditional structural design: rather than imposing a predetermined form and then analyzing whether it is strong enough, form-finding begins with loads and support conditions and derives the optimal form that minimizes material use while meeting safety requirements.	Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a systematic method for assessing how well a completed building meets the needs and expectations of its occupants, comparing planned performance to actual performance. Formalized by Wolfgang Preiser in the 1980s, POE has become essential for learning what design strategies work, identifying problems for remediation, and improving future projects.
