Sažetak:Architecture and its design process, starting with the brief, should support and attend users of the built environment. This article discusses suitable ways and tools available for architects to fulfill final user wishes, outlined in the first design sketches. Although the relation between product and user is well known to designers, in architecture, even taking into consideration that this field is based on an interdisciplinary approach, professionals are not always able to reach a goal of user satisfaction with the quality of the built environment and its formal-aesthetic and functional-technical dimensions. This article describes and analyses available tools to support the evaluation and understanding of the built environment of different types and scales from the perspective and perception of users and their needs, through Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) research.
