Columns

The Strange Connections column, written by Peter Morville, is a regular feature of the Argus Center for Information Architecture. It explores the evolving definition of information architecture.

Lou Rosenfeld is a regular contributor to CIO WebBusiness, where he writes A Closer Look: Critical Reviews of Corporate Websites. Each month, he takes on a commercial web site that isn't up to par and lets you learn through his suggestions for improvement.

Lou Rosenfeld is also a regular contributor to the "Deconstructing..." feature in Penton's Internet World magazine, in which design experts critique some of the world's best-known sites.

The "Web Architect" column in Songline Studio's Web Review magazine, written by the staff of Argus Associates, offers a humorous, irreverent, and practical exploration of information architecture topics. A semi-monthly feature that ran from 1995 to 1999.
