Escaping Flatland – “The Spatial Turn” and Information Architecture

2019 IA Conference /

Time(s)

March 23, 2019

Location

Peninsula 2-3

Description

“The Spatial Turn” is a term used to describe an intellectual movement that emphasises place and space in social science and the humanities. It is closely linked with quantitative and geo-spatial analyses of history, literature, cartography, and the communication arts. In this talk, the presenters take turns mapping the evolution of thinking in the community of IA practice along the lines of this Spatial Turn in adjacent fields, and advocate for a substantive revision to the standard Ontology / Taxonomy / Choreography model for explaining information architecture in light of what our colleagues already know and benefit from knowing.

About the speakers

Andrea Resmini

Andrea Resmini is associate professor of experience design and information architecture in the Department of Intelligent Systems and Digital Design at Halmstad University.

An architect turned information architect, Andreas is a two-time past president of the Information Architecture Institute, a founding member of Architecta, the Italian Society for Information Architecture, the Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Information Architecture, and the author of Pervasive Information Architecture (2011), Reframing Information Architecture (2014), and Advances in Information Architecture (2021).

Andrea’s research focuses on the information architecture of blended spaces, placemaking, and the design of games to explore wicked problems. He knows way too much about the Whitechapel murders, Tolkien, and WWII submarine warfare for his own good.”
