路易斯安娜州立博物館與運動名人堂（The Louisiana State Museum and Sports Hall of Fame）座落在路易斯安娜州的歷史區納奇托且斯（Natchitoches）。這座內外部呈現出不同設計感的建築物中，展出了之前分別存放於大學體育館及19世紀法院大樓中的收藏品，也間接提升了收藏品的觀賞價值；而建築物所位處的凱恩河湖（Cane River Lake）河岸位址，更是18世紀路易西安那購買案（Louisiana Purchase）調停的所在，其意義就如同在州立博物館與運動名人堂的設計之下，將運動與歷史、過去與未來、束縛與從容之間做了最好的結合。
在興建州立博物館與運動名人堂之前，設計團隊Trahan Architects為自己提出了三個問題：如何讓客戶能接受運動與歷史文物同時展出？新建築如何反應出歷史建築的紋理？及以如何讓新建築能有承先啟後的作用？
首先，設計團隊以運動員為歷史文化的一部份而非獨立的主題元素來做為切入點。雖然二者的喜愛者有所不同，卻可籍由設計下的展示區來串連起相關性。流線性的內部設計結合著先進及教育意義的展示空間，無論是個別參觀或是同時參觀二項主題，都可讓遊客自行選擇。
其次，在這具有歷史意義的位址上設計團隊打算用新的設計手法來呈現舊址的歷史氛圍，而非只是刻意仿照歷史文物而做出的展示區。室內的流線設計如同是都會生活動線的延伸，而建築物的整體設計也間接調合了當地歷史商業核心區與鄰近住宅區各自不同特徵與規模下的衝突。在州立博物館與運動名人堂簡單的外型設計下，褶襉的銅製外牆也如同是一旁植林區的百葉窗與護牆板，並與內部曲線美的設計呈現出對比與互補的美感。如百葉窗似的外牆可用來控制光線、景觀、通風並讓外觀看起來更加動感。匯集於入口處的蜿蜒流線型內部設計，在不知不覺中吸引著參觀者離開了原來的參觀路線而走進展區之中。
最後，設計團隊以古河道刻劃出的地形來發想室內的設計構想，由1,100片鑄石板組合成出如流動狀的大廳中緊密地整合了所有系統，大廳並在頂光的設計下顯得明亮；而冷白色的石板牆設計也令人連想到17世紀時工匠們使用的土磚、馬鬃、鐵蘭及地苔等材料。光滑流動似的牆面可被使用成電影的播放空間，走道繼續延伸至最高處的陽臺走廊則是觀賞市區景色的最佳位置，並在如百葉窗的銅製外牆下遮蔽掉強烈的陽光，創造出室內與室外環境之間的獨特對話氛圍。

The Louisiana State Museum and Sports Hall of Fame in historic Natchitoches, Louisiana merges two contrasting collections formerly housed in a university coliseum and a nineteenth century courthouse, elevating the visitor experience for both. Set in the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase on the banks of the Cane River Lake, the design mediates the dialogue between sports and history, past and future, container and contained.

Our exploration focuses on three questions. How does our design explore the client brief to exhibit sports and history simultaneously? How does it respond to the historic building fabric? How does it make a connection to context?

Our resolution is, first, to interpret athletics as a component of cultural history rather than as independent themes. While sports and regional history may appeal to different audiences, the exhibits and configuration explore interconnections between the two. The spaces flow visually and physically together, configured to accommodate state-of-the-art exhibits, education and support functions. Visitors however can experience both narratives either separately or simultaneously.

Second, historical pastiche is set aside in favor of a design language in response to the site. The internal organization is an extension of the existing meandering urban circulation, while the design mediates the scale and character of the historic commercial core and adjacent residential neighborhood. The “simple” exterior, clad with pleated copper panels, alluding to the shutters and clapboards of nearby plantations, contrasts with and complements the curvaceous interior within. The louvered skin controls light, views and ventilation, animates the facade, and employs surface articulation previously achieved by architectural ornamentation. The flowing interior emerges at the entrance, enticing visitors to leave the walking tour and into the evocative exhibit spaces within.

Third the design reflects the carving of the ancient river whose fluvial geomorphology inspired the dynamic interior form. The dynamic foyer is sculpted out of 1,100 cast stone panels, seamlessly integrating all systems and washed with natural light from above. The cool white stone references bousillage, the historic horse hair, earth and Spanish moss utilized by 17th Century settlers. The flowing surfaces reach into the galleries, serving as “screens” for film and display. At the climax of the upper level, the path arrives at a veranda overlooking the city square, sheltered by copper louvers, further connecting the interior to the public realm.
