Fu-Tien Chiou (Genex, Inc.) brings formal training in architecture to the networked information environment. See for example:

Information Architecture, and People
Quote from conference presentation summary: 'We no longer design sites, we plan sites.' Chiou emphasized that the traditional architects are not the builders. [Information Architects] can learn from this coordinator role; many of our tasks in the process might be the same.

Re. Web Development and Creativity

Quote: "Web developers tend to see themselves as creative, and, to be sure, many of them are. Creativity is an essential part of the process. But creative Web developers sometimes complain that process inhibits creativity. In reality, the contrary is true. Combining the creative aspect with all other pertinent disciplines, laying out ahead of time how each one will work together, and designing with the end-user's goals in mind introduces the concept of craft to the project. This frees each member of the team to focus more on his or her individual task because the technological framework with which he or she can create has already been imposed and the lines between each element have already been drawn."
