架构师提供的文本描述。飓风卡特里娜之后，路易斯安那州立大学的E.J.Ourso商学院重新组建了其作为美国海湾南部地区创新商业创造者的使命。为了推进其使命，商学院开始设计和建造一个新的设施，以推进其商业创新的使命。为了体现学院的使命，设计团队将该设施设想为一个玻璃和钢铁的“学术村”，用于商业教育。庭院的平面布置和建筑形式在上下文中让人回想起附近具有历史意义的校园的倾斜屋顶、亭台楼阁和拱形庭院。然而，这些传统的建筑形式是由当代材料和细节构成的，以展示一种前瞻性的美学，这种美学体现了学校在海湾地区创造商业创新的使命，同时也尊重校园的传统。展馆用陶瓷包覆半透明镜面玻璃，透明的圆形圆柱体被涂上青铜太阳屏，形成了原本校园的短暂幻影，反映出路易斯安那州立大学的强大遗产，同时展望未来的前景。

Text description provided by the architects. Following Hurricane Katrina, the E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University re-constituted its mission as the innovative business generator for the Gulf South region of the United States. To advance its mission, the College of Business embarked on the design and construction of a new facility to advance its mission of business innovation. To embody the College’s mission, the design team envisioned the facility as a glass and steel ‘academical village’ for business education. The courtyard plan arrangement and building forms contextually recall the sloped roof pavilions and arcaded courtyards of the nearby historic landmark campus. These traditional architectural forms, however, are constructed of contemporary materials and details to illustrate a forward looking aesthetic that embodies the mission of the school to generate business innovation in the Gulf region and yet are respectful of the traditions of the campus. The pavilions are clad in ceramic coated translucent mirror glass and the transparent rotunda is clad in a bronze solar screen resulting in a composition of forms that are ephemeral apparitions of the original campus, reflecting the strong heritage of the Louisiana State University while looking to the promises of the future.

设施之家：24间互动分层教室，18间协作小组室，300座礼堂，一个模拟交易室，以及教职员工和部门办公室。教学空间和办公室周围的庭院是由一个铜幕包覆圆形。圆形大厅内的多层商务公寓楼是商务校园的核心.商业中心、办公室和教室包围着商业公共领域。

The facility houses: 24 interactive tiered classrooms, 18 collaborative team rooms, a 300 seat auditorium, a mock trading room and faculty and department offices. Teaching spaces and offices surround the courtyard which is headed by a bronze screen clad rotunda. A multi-story business commons within the rotunda is the centerpiece of the business campus. Business centers, offices and classroom surround the business commons.

设计团队对玻璃技术进行了研究，并开发了一种带有镜面玻璃背板的奶油色陶瓷熔制绝缘玻璃单元，该装置在展馆表面创建了一个莫尔图案，其三维外观与其灰泥覆盖的邻居在颜色和造型上相似，但在其定制的四面釉面细节上却完全不同。圆形大厅的南面和西侧都被一个使用拱形图案的定制青铜屏风所包围。拱门主题让人想起了大学珍贵的校园拱廊。该屏幕的设计，以保护玻璃圆形不受苛刻的太阳能增益。

The design team researched glass technologies and developed a cream colored ceramic fritted insulating glass unit with mirror glass back panel which creates a moiré pattern over the surface of the pavilions resulting in a three dimensional appearance that is similar in color and modeling to its stucco-clad neighbors, but is completely different in its tailored four sided glazed detailing. The south and west sides of the rotunda are surrounded by a custom bronze screen that utilizes an arch motif. The arch motif recalls the university’s treasured campus arcades. The screen is designed to shield the glass rotunda from harsh solar gain.
