World Information Architecture Day 2023 Workshop, with Alastair Somerville

An ABCD Approach to Orientation and Wayfinding in Places, Spaces, and Journeys

A 4-hour workshop on understanding how humans find their way through places and information and how design can practically influence those experiences. Using a 4-part ABCD framework, this workshop is open to all levels of participants to explore how to plan and enhance human-centred wayfinding through:

  • Physical places
  • Digital spaces
  • Project journeys

The workshop uses a podcast and Zoom format to identify which wayfinding problem you want to study now and then bring you together with other participants with similar contextual issues to talk, listen, and share. The framework provides a foundation, but it is the time we spend together that helps build usable solutions.

Prior to the workshop, attendees will have access to workshop podcasts and materials on a private platform called Vito, a privacy-focused communtiy platform.

The workshop will take place on Zoom. It spans across 4 hours and will include time for breaks and interactive group sessions.
