Shortlisted Designs for the National Pulse Memorial & Museum Displayed in Orlando

The six shortlisted concepts for the National Pulse Memorial & Museum will be on display at the Orange County Regional History Center where people can view and comment on the schemes, helping the jury choose the winning proposal, to be announced on October 30.

The competition for the National Pulse Memorial & Museum, organized by onePULSE Foundation, aims to create a project that “honors and preserves the legacy of the 49 killed and all those affected by the nightclub tragedy.” Launched in March 2019, and led by led by Dovetail Design Strategists, the components of the contest were selected based on the community’s feedback. The project will be composed of a memorial that honors everyone that was affected by the tragedy, a museum that “will educate, enlighten, inspire reflection and rumination, and start conversations that will change mindsets” and finally a survivors' walk that will trace the journey taken by many victims and first responders the night of the disaster.
