Here's a nice 2011 piece from Andrea Resmini and Luca Rosati on the three strands of tradition underlying Information Architecture - information design, information systems, and information science. This helps to explain why "information architects" can be talking different at cross-purposes, ostensibly about the same thing, but speaking different languages. The authors chronicle the current shift towards pervasive IA, i.e. designing for information everywhere across mutliple, devices and contexts: ".. we live in a world where relationships with people, places, objects, and companies are shaped by semantics and not only by physical proximity.."

In Andrea Resmini and Luca Rosati's insightful 2011 piece, they delve into the intricate world of Information Architecture (IA), shedding light on the three foundational strands that underlie this multidisciplinary field. By identifying these core components as information design, information systems, and information science, the authors offer a much-needed perspective to make sense of the diverse conversations that often surround the realm of "information architects." It becomes apparent that these professionals, while ostensibly addressing the same subject, often find themselves speaking different languages due to their distinct backgrounds and expertise.

The blog post from January 14, 2015, offers readers an insightful journey into the fascinating history of Information Architecture (IA). Authored by Andrea Resmini and Luca Rosati, this piece sheds light on the three foundational strands that underlie Information Architecture: information design, information systems, and information science. This historical perspective helps us understand why the term "information architects" can sometimes seem to be talking at cross-purposes, despite ostensibly addressing the same subject matter. By tracing the development of IA through these three lenses, the authors provide valuable context for the field's evolution.

It's fascinating to see how the field of Information Architecture has evolved over the years. Resmini and Rosati's 2011 piece sheds light on the historical roots of Information Architecture, highlighting its three fundamental strands: information design, information systems, and information science. It's no wonder that "information architects" often find themselves speaking different languages, given the diverse backgrounds and perspectives they bring to the table. The authors' discussion of the shift towards pervasive IA is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where information is everywhere and plays a crucial role in shaping our interactions with people, places, objects, and companies. This article offers valuable insights into the dynamic nature of Information Architecture.
