Abstract
The research scope in concept mapping research can be extended with the investigation of complementary concept mapping approaches which are visual representations that complement the classical node link diagrams from Novak. To do so, concept mapping researchers can draw inspiration from architects. This article presents four strategies of architects to map concepts. The analysis shows what concept mapping researchers can benefit from architects: First, from the practice of architects to use complementary visualizations, which is investigated in the research field of Knowledge Visualization; Second, from their practice to structure information, which is investigated in the research field of Information Architecture. Both research fields are relevant for concept mapping researchers that investigate new formal
approaches that complement the concept mapping approach taken by Novak. Third, the article discusses examples of complementary concept maps in different business situations.
