Village Offices — Community Use
Village-presidency offices are only in session a few hours a week; the rest of the time, the same rooms serve the community directly. On one side, spaces for music practice, small dinners, therapy and consulting, a laboratory, seminars and tutorials, and a school room. On the other, a studio, meeting and interview rooms, a workshop, a clinic, a classroom, and reading and study rooms — the same footprint as the village-presidency floor, reconfigured rather than rebuilt.
These are the same rooms drawn on Third & Fifth Floor Offices, shown in the hours when no council is sitting. Nothing is rebuilt between uses, so an office in session can serve as a classroom, clinic or studio once the session ends. This is how 24 buildings serve both governance and daily life without a separate set of civic buildings. See The Public Building for the whole structure.
