สรุป	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.	Building Energy Performance Simulation is a computational method for predicting how much energy a building consumes for heating, cooling, lighting, and equipment operation under specified weather and occupancy conditions. Pioneered by researchers like Joe Clarke and Drury Crawley in the 1990s, it has become essential for design optimization, compliance demonstration, and operational planning.
