i play with the foresight mob from time-to-time :)
to me "information architecture" connotes a *designed* information space. perhaps i'm too attached to the more 'traditional' use of the term 'architecture'?
mind you, many info arch practitiooners seem to have the same kind of thing in their mind - but are struggling to put it onto paper.
i should be tutoring unisa's city west info sys studnets in systems design from next week. bilby and i have already discussed the key ideas that the students ought to have burned into the back of their skulls by the time they leave ... "purpose" being central.
since i've been designing and/or hacking databases since the 80s - formally since 90s - i'm a big advocate of design over decoration.
some of drexler's ideas have resonated with me for at least a decade - possibly more.
