Ideology
Ideologies that I see around the campus would be just the preconceptions of certain things. Most people that don't attend Columbia have their own views about the school and the people. Even students have views about the curriculum, and the dorms. Commonsense decisions made as part of the classroom would be for example the school's faculty and offices. These offices and faculty basically keep the school in order and makes things easier. If there were no offices and faculty, then the school would have no order and no structure. These offices keep things together and in order. If we tease out these presuppositions then we are just imaging what things would be like if these ordinary tasks and ideologies are not there. Common sense of space is how we view the world and how we operate in a manner which we think is normal. It takes a lot of adjusting to something new and out of the ordinary.

These seem like a string of unconnected thoughts. Would Columbia fall apart if people started working in loft style spaces without walls?
