This document discusses sensemaking and placemaking in information architecture work. It defines sensemaking as empathizing with elements and associations to influence how people feel, and modeling elements and arrangements to influence comprehension. Placemaking is defined as arranging elements to influence orientation, and realizing how elements relate to influence interaction. The document suggests that sense of place results from both the intrinsic character of a place and the meanings people assign to it, and is influenced by the confluence of architecture and information on feelings, comprehension, orientation, and actions. It poses questions about what balance and imbalance in this context would look like.
