Design for Organizing and Accessing Intellectual Assets

- Knowledge Space Design 1

Abstract

Voice, letters, papers, prints, books, libraries, photos, movies, broadcasts, computers, artificial intelligence, data base, and networks are media of our message created through human history. Now, numerous messages come and go on the Internet. Those messages are sent and received, archived, retrieved, and transformed. Then “places” of the messages are constructed with human thought and communication. It can be called Knowledge Spaces. However forms and behaviors of the spaces do not fit to our intellectual activities at this moment. This paper introduces knowledge space models derived from our design studies.
