ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe how cross-mediality and bridge-experiences are playing a major role in redefining the goals and scope of information architecture as a strategic practice and discipline for the successful design of user experiences, and propose a seven-point manifesto for a holistic approach to the design of digital -- physical human-information interactions as ubiquitous ecologies.

The architecture of cross-channel ecosystems: from convergence to experience
MEDES: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Management of Digital EcoSystemsConvergence has been quietly reshaping not just media consumption but also the way we interact with products and services. Read/write access through personal and ambient devices enables the creation of free-flowing, actor-defined experiences that ...
A conceptualization of interaction with genres in the context of information practices
iConference '11: Proceedings of the 2011 iConferenceIn this paper, the author examines how genres affect both the process and consequences of information practices in contexts. Genres serve as information systems within and around which information practices are shaped. They are in turn shaped by ...
Cross-channel information architecture for a world exposition
The study reveals that, within a large information ecology, two aspects of cross-channel design are essential. Firstly, information coherence between in information artefacts and secondly the crossing experience when a user elects to leave on ...
