The University of Lucerne Knowledge Network
Developed for the University of Lucerne in Switzerland, the Knowledge Network is a responsive search engine visualization. Included as part of a website re-brand, the Knowledge Network and Business Law Institute were designed and developed by Chloe Negrette in collaboration with Icon Worldwide. The Knowledge Network is a responsive, exploratory, tactile data visualization that shows search results as they pertain to the University of Lucerne.
Inspiration
The University of Lucerne wanted a fresh, new, tactile data visualization on their website to visually represent their courses and offerings in the Business Law Institute. The data visualization was to be tactile, exploratory, and fun for users to experiment with.
Design Mockups
I came up with the idea of visually representing search results from all the articles on the website, using a geometric bubble-style infographic that was interactive and tactile.
The user is able to check and un-check boxes using the collapsible sidebar on the left (visible in the design mockups below). The user can select only the search parameters that interest them and can then further click on the visualisation to show/hide certain elements. Doing so will change the visualisation on the right in real time. The user may also collapse and expand the bubbles by clicking on them directly in order to see more or less information as needed.
