The mayor’s reception: hierarchy and history
6 min

Take a peek to where the mayor greets their guests and holds small receptions. Many of the mayor’s smaller speeches are also broadcast from these facilities. In classical architecture, the most valuable part is highlighted and clearly visible, which is why Aarno Ruusuvuori has placed the most valuable facilities in the centre of the building.
