Introduction - EXTENDING AFFORDANCES
Exploring possibilities and alternative uses of a facade we explore its affordances, this is an interesting term:
an affordance is a quality of an object, or an environment, which allows an individual to perform an action. For example, a knob affords twisting, and perhaps pushing, while a cord affords pulling.
By integrating capacities usually associated with other elements we are extending the affordances of an object i.e. "facade".
Affordances and Design
In the world of design, the term "affordance" has taken on a life far beyond the original meaning. It might help if we return to the original definition.
The word "affordance" was originally invented by the perceptual psychologist J. J. Gibson (1977, 1979) to refer to the actionable properties between
the world and an actor (a person or animal). To Gibson, affordances are a relationship. They are a part of nature: they do not have to be visible,
known, or desirable. Some affordances are yet to be discovered.(http://www.jnd.org/dn.mss/affordances_and.html)
