Andrea Resmini :: Information architecture for a post-digital world

We hosted information architect Andrea Resmini at Mesh for a talk on information architecture in a post-digital, cross-channel world. Resmini is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Information Architecture, served two terms as President of the Information Architecture Institute, and wrote Pervasive Information Architecture and Reframing Information Architecture.

His starting point was that the Web no longer works as the single unifying layer for content and technology it was once taken to be. Attention has moved from individual artefacts to personal ecosystems of products and services that people keep reshaping as they use them.

Resmini treated mobile technology as an enabler rather than the change itself: constant access to information lets digital content spill into physical space and turns readers into authors. He discussed how this links people, places and objects, and why the resulting need for context, place and meaning makes information architecture central to design work.
