DESCRIPTION
Martyn Dade-Robertson, Architect presentation from World IA Day 2013 Bristol. In an age of ubiquitous and pervasive computing the notion of information architecture has shifted to involve both multi-channel and multi-device experiences. Perhaps, even more profoundly digital information which has been ‘let loose’ from the shackles of a computer screen becomes, through locative media, embedded within the places and practices of everyday life. This new era of information architecture offers new and exciting design opportunities; however, it also offers practical and ethical challenges. This talk will sketch out this future for information architecture through the concept of sentient spaces examines how Information Architects may shape experiences, not only of information but, of society and space.

Where is the Architecture in Information Architecture?
A consensual hallucina-on experienced daily by billions of legi-mate operators, in every na-on, by children being taught mathema-cal concepts ...a graphical representa-on of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constella-ons of data. Like city lights receding.' (Gibson 1984: 67)

Aristotle’s applica-on of the word ‘topos’ to general paNerns of argument is the source of the name of his trea-se, ‘The Topics’. And this use of the word, along with the related use in rhetoric, is the source of the English expression ‘topic’ and ‘commonplace’. If the above sugges-ons are correct, these words will have come via Aristotle ul-mately from the system of place memory. (Sorabji 2004: 32)
