UX Architecture
The UX Concept goes to the heart of the product, tackling the crucial user experience challenges, resulting in solutions for these challenges.
Some of these challenges can be solved by architecture, but just as often by very conceptual or very detailed solutions.
In addition, the UX Concept also contains a creative translation of the problem statements. Architecture then gives further substance to this, turning the concept into a framework that can actually be built.
