I'm getting this sense of information architecture being one of these disciplines that is actually a bunch of overlaps between other disciplines with a particular focus. I think it is very interdisciplinary in that way. We get people from all kinds of backgrounds who do the stuff that we do or the stuff in the big then diagram, right? And at least for me, the most interesting things happen where disciplines overlap and inform each other.

Bob Kasenchak is a taxonomist and information architect at Factor. Bob’s background is in music, and this conversation delves into what information architects can learn from studying music. We recorded two conversations on the subject: this one focuses on the structure of music itself, and the second covers how we can make music more findable. Look for that one in an upcoming episode.
