Mapping Memory: Web Designer as Information Cartographer
"Since at least Richard Saul Wurman's 1996 book Information Architects>, architecture has been the primary metaphor for how 'those who build websites' think about what we do. By adding a new metaphor to our theoretical toolboxes, we can gain a richer, more nuanced understanding of the way that we inhabit cyberspace. This enhanced apprehension of the medium should enable us to create websites that better serve our users." (Aaron Rester - A List Apart)
