"Information architecture is the process of organizing, labeling,
designing navigation and searching systems that helps people find
and manage information more successfully. Good information
architecture makes a website easy to use. Good architecture
keeps customers happy."

"USABILITY IS THE PRIME consideration in the creation of a site’s information
architecture. Information
architecture concerns itself not only with the structure of text but
with text-related tools that contribute to
a site’s usability—navigation, searching, and browsing systems, labeling
and indexing systems, and the
words writers use in their copy."

'Information Architecture - shaping knowledge into form -
What if we could explore information like we explore the world around
us?
Humans have a rich awareness of location and situation that directs
how we interpret and interact
with our environment. The Information Architecture project seeks to
create information spaces,
where people will use this awareness to search, browse, and learn.
In the same way that they
navigate in the physical environment, they will navigate through knowledge.'
