“…In DOET, Norman writes that we can use "cultural constraints" to determine affordances; he defines such constraints as "learned artificial restrictions on behavior that reduce the set of likely actions." 10 Architecture clearly has its own set of cultural constraints-architecture students, for example, learn to work, think, and communicate in particular ways that are intended to guide their design processes-yet it has no universally established conventions or constraints when it comes to the digital fabrication technologies that are ever more in its midst. According to Norman, we should, however, be able to use the constraints we do learn to develop individual approaches to such emergent technologies; in other words, we can and should use our individual understandings of architecture to develop distinct, architectural approaches to digital fabrication technologies.…”
