The future of Information Architecture

Information architecture is the study of how information is created, managed, and organized. The term was coined by Richard Saul Wurman in 1976 when he first combined the word'information' and'architecture'. He later clarified in 2004 that he chose to use the word architecture instead of design to help focus on system and structure rather than visuals. Since then, information architecture has been widely used to help structure the growing amount of information on the world wide web. It has evolved from systems and labels to strategic placements that help a user find information and navigate a website effectively.
