Actually a few architects (the "real" ones that can join the RIAA) are playing with the design of information spaces in a similiar manner to designing buildings. After all, we have a natural understanding of navigating through a 3D environment so why not use that knowledge to create a VR system where the user can navigate for data. b One nice idea was that their VR system was the game Quake (after all, the game engine provides the neccessary attributes you require in a VR system - the ability to navigate through a virtual space). After all if the US Marines can use a customized version of Doom to get their consulate guards up to speed of the layout of foreign consulates...

Admittedly it also led to the Architecture Summer School course subject of "Design a Quake Level" (although I think it's now "Design an Unreal Tournament Level"). But from reality. The example I've seen was the Old Police Barracks between Physics at UnivAd and the Museum. Impressively done.
