Information architecture has changed dramatically since the
mid-1990s and earlier conceptions of the world and the internet
being different and separate have given way to a much more complex
scenario in the present day. In the post-digital world that we now
inhabit the digital and the physical blend easily and our
activities and usage of information takes place through multiple
contexts and via multiple devices and unstable, emergent
choreographies. Information architecture now is steadily growing
into a channel- or medium-specific multi-disciplinary framework,
with contributions coming from architecture, urban planning, design
and systems thinking, cognitive science, new media, anthropology.
All these have been heavily reshaping the practice: conversations
about labelling, websites, and hierarchies are replaced by
conversations about sense-making, place-making, design,
architecture, cross media, complexity, embodied cognition and their
application to the architecture of information spaces as places we
live in in an increasingly large part of our lives.
Via narratives, frameworks, references, approaches and
case-studies this book explores these changes and offers a way to
reconceptualize the shifting role and nature of information
architecture where information permeates digital and physical
space, users are producers and products are increasingly becoming
complex cross-channel or multi-channel services.
