Ahh, if Mansions are the play things of the rich, then let us derive inspiration from Children's play things
The concept of the Peg as a tool of erection in construction is generally reserved for the mechanical realm.
When we think of it, as a construction oriented device, we consider concepts like Tongue & Groove, as we see it in wood flooring finishes
The way that we attached our exension here is through the peg. Why? Because it will differentiate Meier's design from my own by clearly addressing and accentuating that it an extension. I do not want to consume his design with wontan disregard for what I inherited and this can be achieved by leaving a space betwixt the two structures connected with a 3 story light-well peg transition bridge
To obain the Light-Well Solarium I want, I intend to construct bridges on the 1st and 2nd floor transition corridors and not full slab extrusion bridging the 4' gap.
