As we go through our everyday lives we take for granted the things we do and the place we go, and forget all the work that was put into these things.  After reading the question i started thinking about our campus and all the different building that Columbia uses. The buildings have this great architecture inside and out and are placed in perfect locations.  Even the way that they are set up inside has this artsy urban feel to it.  But what i tend to forget is that Columbia chose to create this image to go along with the image they portray of being an individualistic urban art school, like no other school.  It is common sense after realizing this to re-examine the set up of Columbia and understand how Columbia uses different aspects to create the image they had in mind.  And to understand it wasn't just done, it took time, planning, changing, and group effort to create the final image.  

 Thinking about common sense slightly puzzles me, so much of the things we do in our everyday lives is common sense, for example locking your door when you leave, turning off the lights when you go to bed, to wear a jacket when it is cold out.  But all of these actions are done without thinking, they become natural actions.  In a sense common sense takes up the largest part of our everyday actions creating and shaping us into the people we are today.
