The right dance therefore does not need to be “determined” in advance. There is no fully specified end-result on the basis of which the dance is realized. On the contrary, the dance is realized in practice because it is getting increasingly determined or developed within the landscape of affordances. The process of dancing can even have the determining, directed, character of nesting affordance for the dancers, because they are in the process of enacting a satisfying dance.

The right design therefore does not need to be “determined” in advance. There is no fully specified picture or description of the end result on the basis of which the design is realized. On the contrary, the design is realized in practice because it is getting increasingly determined or developed in acting within the landscape of affordances. The process of designing the sculpture can even have the determining, directed, character of nesting affordance for the architects, because they are in the process of enacting a satisfying design.
