[Sigia-l] Reminder: User Interfaces for Physical Spaces, December 12

[Peter Merholz]

SIGIA-Ellers--

The IA Institute is helping produce an event called "User Interfaces  
for Physical Spaces." It's a one day workshop that walks through how  
MAYA Design developed a system for redesign the Carnegie Libraries of  
Pittsburgh, grappling with issues of information architecture across  
real and virtual spaces.

First up, let me draw your attention to the remarkable case study  
that MAYA produced in anticipation of the event:

It should supply all the reason you need to come to join us. We'll go  
through this case in detail, including visits to libraries before and  
after their redesign.

This truly is a remarkable opportunity. I'm floored at the access  
MAYA is providing in showing us the steps they went through. And,  
December in Pittsburgh be damned, I think the timing is great -- we  
all know very little work gets done before the holidays, and so why  
not come and geek out, learn something valuable, have fun, and maybe  
spend some of that training budget before the end of the year?
