Information architecture (IA) is an intersection of meaning and structure.
It's a practice of sensemaking and understanding; understanding the spaces you find yourself in, as well as relationships between objects in that space.

If you are working on IA, you are in "the business of understanding", as its father Richard Saul Wurman would say.
It's about asking thoughtful and targeted questions.
IA isn't about having the right answers; it's about having the right approach that gets you to the right answers.
