Information architecture
Website architecture considers aesthetics and critical theory. Both ideas emphasise the structural aspects of information. Structuralism is an approach to knowledge which has influenced a number of academic disciplines including aesthetics, critical theory and postmodernism. Web 2.0, because it involves user-generated content, directs the website architect's attention to the structural aspects of information.
Website architecture vs. web design
"Website architecture" is a term used for the intellectual discipline of organizing website content. "Web design" describes the practical tasks, part-graphic and part-technical, of designing and publishing a website. An analogy would be the task of editing a newspaper or magazine and its graphic design and printing.
