Context of Use

There is one timeless way of building.
It is thousands of years old, and the same today as it has always been.
The great traditional buildings of the past, the villages and tents and temples in which man feels at home, have always been made by people who were very close to the center of this way.
It is not possible to make great buildings, or great towns, beautiful places, places where you feel yourself, places where you feel alive, except by following this way.
And, as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form, as the trees and hills, and as our faces are.
The Timeless Way of Building

Mixed Results Presentations: Mixed Sets with Spotlights
Solution Elements
Mixed types of results are grouped together as a combined set (e.g., list)
Use icons or a simple visual system to differentiate types of content within the mixed results presentation

Solution Elements
Use content type-specific “Result Spotlight” zones to increase the visibility of content types expected to be most valuable and relevant
If varied user types are expected to be most interested in varied asset types, considering personalizing “result spotlight” zones by user segment (e.g., forms and applications for store associates, checklists and policies for managers, etc. )

Solution Elements
Make document/content type one of the key dimensions available for refinement
This dimension should be aligned with the visual system for differentiating results within the mixed presentation
