Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Studio Libeskind and MVRDV compete to build museum for Orlando Pulse shooting
Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Studio Libeskind and MVRDV are among six teams that have revealed their competing proposals for a museum and memorial dedicated to the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.
Heneghan Peng Architects, MASS Design Group and Coldefy & Associés with RDAI are also vying for the National Pulse Memorial & Museum. The project will commemorate victims of Pulse tragedy on 12 June 2016, when Omar Mateen opened fire on attendees at the nightclub killing 49 and injuring 68.
Daniel Libeksind's proposal, pictured above and top, comprises rainbow-coloured frames and an irregularly stacked tower
Organised by Dovetail Design Strategists, the design contest asked entrants to create a permanent memorial on the site of the club at 1912 S Orange Avenue and an accompanying museum building a few blocks away. Diller Scofidio + Renfro has teamed up with Miami firm Rene Gonzalez Architects to design a reflective garden around the club building, comprising cypress trees and 268 reflective columns that represent those who were affected. American landscape architect Raymond Jungles is also working on the project.

The existing structure is covered in bead screens, while 49 rainbow-colored ceramic tile columns protrude from the top. The structures support the roof of an extension above the club but also puncture through the roof...
