Keynote presentation for World IA Day 2016 San Francisco.

Update 2016-03-03: I’ve published an _article based on this presentation._

Description:

Architecture is everywhere. Look around you: The place in which you are reading these words has an architecture, and somebody designed it. Less obviously, the wesbite, app, and operating system through which these words reach your eyes also have architecture — and this is one which you can design.

As we gather to celebrate the 5th World IA Day, we will ponder the question: In what sense is our work “architecture”?

In this presentation, you will learn:

  • What we mean by “architecture” in IA.

  • How being conscious of the impact of architectural decisions can help you design products that can grow and adapt to changing needs.

  • How you can design more effective architectures.
