Affordances – a Merleau-Pontian Account
In this paper, the concept of ‘affordance’ is given an ontological and epistemological explication building on a
Merleau-Pontian view of human being as always already being-in-the world in a non-thematized, pre-reflective

skill-relative, but perception-independent, ontology is proposed for affordances. It is argued that this is more in
line with the original Gibsonian understanding

Computers have gained universal acceptance as tools that designers use. However, computers are often not used to advance the design process but just to make drawings. Many architectural schools still focus on a production orientation which puts the highest value on information management, precise representations and drafting enhancements.
