架构师提供的文本描述。国家第二次世界大战博物馆是一个多阶段项目，位于新奥尔良，路易斯安那州。美国国会规定，博物馆是对所有在欧洲、非洲和太平洋剧院取得成功的人的致敬。之所以选择这个地点，是因为安德鲁·希金斯(Andrew Higgins)在新奥尔良建造了用于两栖入侵的登陆艇；艾森豪威尔总统认为，登陆艇是帮助我们赢得盟军战争的五个关键发明之一。

Text description provided by the architects. The National World War II Museum is a multi-phase project located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The US Congress mandated that the museum stands as tribute to all who made the campaigns in Europe, Africa and the Pacific theaters successful. The location was selected because it was New Orleans that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft used in the amphibious invasions; the landing craft which President Eisenhower believed was one of the five key inventions that helped us win the war for the Allies.

博物馆将为参观者提供超过92，000 sf的交互式和解释性展品，完整的大小为284，000 sf。为方便游客体验，我们建议在一条连续的路线上，引导他们的旅程经过一连串的“展览馆”。这条经验性的道路带领每一位赞助者穿过不同的展馆和展览馆，以及穿过名为“阅兵地”的中央绿地。

The Museum will afford visitors the ability to view over 92,000sf of interactive and interpretative exhibits with a completed size of 284,000sf. To facilitate the visitor experience, we propose that their journey be guided through a series of "Pavilions" along a continuous route. This experiential path takes each patron through the various pavilions and their exhibits as well as transverses the central green space entitled the "Parade Ground & Landscape of War". To assist in providing visual continuity and weather protection, we propose a floating canopy to unify the individual elements with an urban scale, recognizable image signifying a national museum.

展馆战略将建筑与景观交织在一起，这也使扩展过程“分阶段”进行，从而产生了经济和方案的灵活性。唯一定义的内容和他们的设计身份反映在每个展馆提供了更多的命名机会，整个博物馆的筹资活动。展馆系统在卡特里娜飓风后的重新设计过程中也证明是极其有效的，在这一过程中，基本的总体计划、战略和范围都得到了

The Pavilion strategy which interweaves architecture with landscape also enables "Phasing" of expansion process which results in economic and programmatic flexibility. Uniquely defined contents and their design identities reflected on each Pavilions provide enhanced naming opportunities throughout the Museum’s fundraising campaigns. The Pavilion system also proved extremely effective under the Post-Katrina redesign process where fundamental master plan strategies and scopes were revised.

第一期已完成，包括四维剧场、演艺厅、行政办公室、零售及食肆.它向国际观众介绍这些故事，保留研究材料，并激励子孙后代运用从有史以来最复杂的军事行动中吸取的经验教训。博物馆的后续工程目前正在建造中，计划在未来几年内完成。

The Phase I which has been completed includes 4-D Theater, Performance Hall, Executive Offices, Retail and Restaurant. It presents the stories to an international audience, preserves material for research and inspires future generations to apply the lessons learned from the most complex military operation ever staged. Subsequent phases of the museum are currently under construction and scheduled to be completed in coming few years.

第一阶段完成了总体规划的东段，北角的剧院展馆将新元素与周围的城市结构、现有的路易斯安那州纪念馆和未来设施连接起来。布局和几何图形是在总体规划程序和集合中为最佳性能而生成的。大型预制混凝土与连锁几何覆盖外部街道外观。相比之下，通过广泛使用玻璃和金属面板，面对内部法院(游行场地)的外墙是透明和轻巧的。这个四层楼高的大厅创造了空间重力点，阳台被整合成一个建筑长廊，无论在里面还是在外面。第一期的扩建使该博物馆成为新奥尔良市游客最多的目的地。

The Phase I completes east section of the master plan with the Theater Pavilion at north corner connecting new elements to the surrounding urban fabric, existing Louisiana Memorial Pavilion and future facilities. The layout and geometry are generated for optimal performance within the overall master plan program and massing. Large scale precast concrete with interlocking geometries cover the external street façades. In contrast, through extensive use of glazing and metal panels, the façade facing internal court (Parade Ground) is transparent and lightweight. The quadruple height lobby creates spatial gravity point with balconies integrated as an architectural promenade that travels inside as well as outside. The expansion of Phase I made the Museum the most visited destination in the city of New Orleans.
