Designing/Architecting Information With People in Mind

DESCRIPTION

Information architecture is a truly transdisciplinary discipline. Drawing on a wide set of roots, it is considered an essential subdiscipline of various "umbrella terms", including user experience design, enterprise architecture, data visualization and business intelligence, among others. The mission of practitioners today is as varied as the use and form of information itself, constantly flowing around us and crossing media, channels, formats and conversations. The scope of their work ranges from web sites and tools to complex services, and from digital information systems to entire enterprise ecosystems. My talk will be about dealing with this complexity by applying a strong human-centric perspective, starting at people's experience, and designing information around actual needs and desires. Understanding and mapping the human context of information use is the essential skill of Information Architects - it lays the basis for envisioning architectures that work at different scales, and enables us to translate them into perceivable and usable structures. L'architecture de l'information est vraiment transdiciplinaire. Puisant dans une large panoplie de traditions, elle est considérée comme une sous-discipline d'activités variées, incluant le design de l'expérience utilisateur, l'architecture d'entreprises, la visualisation de données, l'intelligence économique parmi bien d'autres. La mission des professionnels aujourd'hui est aussi variée que l'usage et la forme de l'information elle-même, coulant autour de nous et dans les médias, au travers des canaux, des formats et des conversations. L'éventail de leur travail va des sites web et des outils jusqu'à des services complexes, et des systèmes d'informations numériques jusqu'à l'écosystème complet des entreprises. La présentation traitera de cette complexité par une perspective résolument centrée sur l'humain, partant de l'expérience des gens et concevant les systèmes d'information à partir des besoins et désirs réels. Comprendre et cartographier le contexte humain de l'information est la compétence première des architectes de l'information, cela forme les bases d'une architecture qui fonctionne à des échelles différentes et nous permet de la traduire dans des structures perceptibles et utilisables.

vw bluetrack

mobile assistence system for sustainable driving

for volkswagenwolfsburg

dennis middeke

2009

volkswagen vehicles collect a lot of data about driving behaviour and the condition of the vehicle. besides the common display of the fuel consump-tion, values like tyre pressure or the condition of the driving surface can be analysed.

bluetrack is a mobile platform where volkswagen drivers analyse their driving data. hints on energy saving and good driving styles help them to im-prove their fuel economy. exchange of information and group challenges with other members of the bluetrack community give an additional incentive to improve individual driving behaviour.

analysis display

smartphone used as monitor in the cabin

virtual scenarios show the drivers the results of their fuel savings and the results of additional measures can be calculated.

thus bluetrack does not only promote an environ-mental friendly driving behaviour, but also com-municate green technologies and strenghen the brand image of a sustainable company.

the value of information architecture

The value in Information Architecture’s structuring information in an enterprise is not in attaining some abstract goal of imposing order on disarray, but in enabling the right information in the appropriate context to the stakeholders who need it.
