Structures shape common sense.

What is appropriate behavior in a school, a church, or a museum? How do spaces form our norms of behavior? It’s common sense. Jacques Ranciere calls it the distribution of the sensible. We help people make sense of what’s expected of them in built environments by our inclusion of norms that inform common sense.

In many places, common sense has taken a sharp pivot.

Let’s capture this brief moment in history to reshape our spatial norms for more inclusion and less disparity.
