On June 12, 2016, a violent tragedy shook Orlando when a gunman opened fire on the crowd at Pulse nightclub. In response to the community’s desire for a safe and comfortable space to mourn, the landscape architect, in collaboration with a team of stakeholders, created a design for an interim memorial to serve the community until a permanent memorial was built. The design celebrates the lives of those who perished, the survivors, their families and loved ones, and the first responders who saved so many. The design is inspired by the mission and vibrancy of the original nightclub, and patterns of use observed prior to construction. The Pulse Interim Memorial has become the nexus of a movement towards inclusion and equity, helping the onePULSE Foundation to further its mission and its message: “We will not let hate win.”
