Exuberant architecture in interaction design refers to designing interfaces that are highly expressive, visually striking, and attention-grabbing. It often involves the use of bright colors, bold typography, and engaging animations to create a sense of excitement and energy in the user.
On the other hand, contextualism in interaction design focuses on designing interfaces that are more subtle, understated, and responsive to the surrounding environment. It involves understanding the user's needs and designing interfaces that fit seamlessly into their surroundings, enhancing the user's experience without overtly drawing attention to the interface.
In summary, exuberant architecture focuses on creating visually stunning interfaces that stand out, while contextualism aims to design interfaces that blend into the surroundings and enhance the user's experience without drawing too much attention to themselves.
