Architecting Information with Dan Klyn

It’s been here all along, hiding in plain sight: the fact that changing the structure of information changes what information means. Pioneers in fields as disparate as architecture, graphic design, and library science saw it decades ago; but of course, nobody listens to a Cassandra. Happily, the world keeps turning, and many more of us “regular folx” can see it now, too. So what does it look like to work on and change the IA of a product or service for the better?

Klyn and his colleagues at The Understanding Group (TUG) have some answers, and what may be some of the right questions to ask next.

Dan Klyn teaches information architecture at the University of Michigan School of Information, is co-founder of World Information Architecture Day, past President of the Information Architecture Institute, and is a founding member of the faculty and scientific board of advisers at the Building Beauty post-graduate architecture program in Sorrento, Italy. In 2008 he co-founded The Understanding Group (TUG), and has worked as an IA consultant for 23 years.
