Richard Saul Wurman: Being an IA means to communicate with rigor and responsibility. #IA #UX #ias10
I don’t think in terms of wireframes… I don’t think in terms of Information Architecture, I think in terms of understanding. I’m interested in understanding things that interest me and I am interested in the systemic rigger of being able to explain. I’m interested in communicating with another human being …and I am doing it with rigor and responsibility, and that is what information architecture is. It’s not the modality, not the particular technology… it’s just making yourself understandable.
— Richard Saul Wurman, IA Summit 2010
I’ve never been able to phrase it as well as Richard Saul Wurman, but it is exactly what I feel being an IA (or UX, if you want) is about. And it’s also exactly why I like working in this field.
