Responsive Information Architectures
This talk explores the evolving relationship of content, taxonomy, wayfinding, and context in order to propose a practical strategy for designing information systems across digital touchpoints. Users increasingly expect multi-device and multi-session consistency when they engage with a digital product. At the same time, delivering a consistent experience grows increasingly complex as services and touch points diversify and add capabilities.
In this talk, I examine the responsive and adaptive approaches used in front end development and map the core insights of responsiveness and adaptability to key tasks in information architecture. I show how responsive information architectures offer a solution to the challenges presented by contextually complicated information spaces by creating robust content driven systems designed to be articulated across contexts. By situating these principles in real world examples, I provide attendees with both the practical insight to apply these strategies to their own projects and the vocabulary and understanding needed to get buy-in from teams and stakeholders.
