Information architecture for ubiquitous ecologies

Published:27 October 2009Publication History

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.
