Richard Saul Wurman: The orignial “information architect”
Richard Saul Wurman is the original information architect. He has a genius for using illustrations and words to simplifying complex ideas and for making information accessible. If you have not already seen it, Understanding USA is one of his recent projects that is well worth a visit. You'll see that he enlisted the help of sponsors and notable designers such as Nigel Holmes, Clement Mok, and Kit Hinrichs to paint a portrait of America through the visual display of statistical data. Sound impossible?
