Personas in architecture
Personas, detailed examples of your future users, seem to be getting back in style. They have a function both in analysis and design. Could they also work for architecture? I think so.I’ve used them on my last project and they really helped with some of the tougher design decisions. It’s easier to make out if you’re helping ‘Jane’ with a certain decision, instead of user group ‘X’. In the end that’s what architecture is all about. Helping individuals with their actions, which is something you can loose sight of when working your way through tons of services and components.
