Websites and apps are places where critical parts of our lives happen. We shop, bank, learn, gossip, and select our leaders there. But many of these places weren’t intended to support these activities. Instead, they’re designed to capture your attention and sell it to the highest bidder. Living in Information draws upon architecture as a way to design information environments that serve our humanity.

Об авторе
Jorge Arango is a strategic designer and information
architect. Upon seeing the then–new World Wide Web in
1994, he left his career in (building) architecture to start
the first web design consultancy in Central America.
He has since designed information environments for organizations
that range in scope from developing–world nonprofits to Fortune
500 corporations.
He is co–author (with Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville) of
Information Architecture: For the Web and Beyond (2015), the fourth
edition of O'Reilly's celebrated "polar bear" book. He is also a former
president of the Information Architecture Institute, and speaks and
teaches about design leadership around the world.
Jorge lives with his wife and three children in the San Francisco Bay
Area. You can reach him via email at [email protected] or follow
