As the building will be located on the Vltava River near the city centre so I tried to make it fit in with the historic buildings and bridge architecture, and that's where the idea of arches that will be glazed around the perimeter came from. Structurally, the building is made of a modules that consists of 4 sails each. The round column at the base transitions to a square ceiling plan. These modules are repeated several times. However, they are limited by certain dimensions in width and height. In order to be able to transport building under the bridges to safe it from floods. It's actually more a ship then a building. According to the dimensions of the bridge spans, the maximum size is three spans of 4.5 metres each and 9 metres in height.
