Rapid Prototyping of Adaptable Digital Places with Container Based Information Architecture
Konstantin Weiss and Koen Peters
4 h. tutorial
Let's build an IA for adaptable and expandable digital places within hours. This workshop teaches the principles and methods of Container Based Information Architecture. It is based on the idea of putting content and interaction into containers, out of which digital places like websites or apps are built. The containers can be reordered, reappear, or adjust their appearance and function based on the place's context.

Since its inception in 2011, this approach has proven valuable for global players and mid-size organisations alike, and is used in fields of ecommerce, news, or web apps. Over the years, it has incorporated new aspects like conversational interfaces and customer journey orchestration.
Container Based IA is also closely related to other models and tools, like OOUX (Object-Oriented UX), the Core model and content modelling (all of which have been presented in previous EuroIA editions). We will explain how these models are related to Container Based IA, and we will borrow some ideas and incorporate some practical methods of them.
