We need information architects
Vicky Teinaki urges us to revisit the discipline of information architecture:
for anyone designing flows with any amount of complexity (such as things that have repeat use), please have a look at information architecture as a discipline.
(From: A plea for the lost practice of information architecture)
In her post, she explains how the field got mostly erased over the last 15-20 years, with the rise of the ‘UX designer’ first then, followed by the popularity of agile delivery and lean startup.
IA is considered as ‘unsexy’, she explains, especially compared to full blown prototypes in Figma, but critical when you're designing complex structures: they need to be thought out or it will show.
