Here's a few photos of early design work. At this stage is was still wondering how to translate the traditional courtyard/cloister configuration onto a narrow site. In the bottom image you can see that the courtyard is simply overlaid onto the island, ignoring the boundaries between land and river. This isn't a case of simply ignoring the specifics of the site; the whole building will have to be raised above ground level to avoid flooding, and with that constraint in place you can deliberately ignore or blur the perceived site boundary.
