In taking the accusations seriously and accepting truths within them, Grant Campbell reveals greatest strengths in shallowness, insularity, and being 'relegated' to history. http://tc.eserver.org/23871.html http://tc.eserver.org/23871.html Defining information architecture is a reccuring theme in all IA forums, and frequently leads to re-naming efforts as well, from information therapist to experience designer. This page is dedicated to that ongoing struggle. http://tc.eserver.org/21372.html http://tc.eserver.org/21372.html Discussions of how we should label ourselves and define our work are like flu epidemics. They break out from time to time, follow a fairly predictable course, and often make us want to barf. http://tc.eserver.org/21306.html http://tc.eserver.org/21306.html Defining the audience for Boxes and Arrows sparked the same heated discussion as the community-at-large about what exactly do we call ourselves? http://tc.eserver.org/20927.html http://tc.eserver.org/20927.html In defining a field, each person seems to look at the world and place themselves in the center of the circle, giving their specialty top billing as the summation of all the others.

Or avoiding titles altogether. http://tc.eserver.org/20877.html http://tc.eserver.org/20877.html Information architecture has a great deal to do with traditional architecture—especially in the ability of each discipline to plan and connect various important elements together.
