Architecture Deliverable Schemas

“Current practice shows that much discussion is devoted to concepts, theories, methods, and techniques of Experience Design in general and Information Design / Architecture (ID/A) in specific. Unfortunately, these discussions have not been productive enough so far vis-a-vis a deep understanding of ID/A activities and their results. A focus on the documents ID/As deliver and the building blocks (’elements’) they consist of seems necessary. This document contains a set of ID/A deliverables (a.k.a. documents), which have been derived from various internal and external sources. Be aware, that this is a rather premature attempt to provide more consensus within the ID/A community on the structure, content, and presentation of the documents.”

Methods to Design Information Architecture

“The goal of this project is to develop methods for designing information architecture of content heavy interfaces… My current goal is to use an understanding of how people make categorization judgment to inform the design of information architecture (IA). I plan to use theories and methods from Cognitive Neuroscience.”

Edward Tufte @ Chicago Notes

Note: Link is to an MS Word doc! “Two core issues of Information Design: 1) Nearly everything interesting we want to communicate to others is multivariate information — three or more dimensions of data, that must be communicated on a 2D flatland display surfaces (computers, paper, books); 2) Resolution — we need more resolution to communicate more information — rate of information transfer vs. data density.”
