The Smithsonian Institution unveiled six potential designs for the new African American Museum to be on the Mall in Washington DC.

I wish I could put all the images on here to see, but with six of them and me not being able to find them all in one place, I will link to this poll by greatergreaterwashington.org that has thumbnails of all six and this slightly annoying gallery with better quality pictures from the Washington Post.

My one sentence reviews:

Devrouax + Purnell and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners: Looks like an airport terminal, like so many designs nowadays.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro with Kling Stubbins: An almost meaningless blobject.

Foster + Partners / URS Group: Looks remarkably like the new Museum of Liverpool design from certain angles in a possible unintentional slavery link.

Freelon Adjaye Bond / SmithGroup: Shopping centre

Moody Nolan / Antoine Predock Architect PC: The Museum of African Americans to look like a giant pre-civilisation stone structure, eh?

Moshe Safdie and Associates: Oh, I do like that. Looks like a proper museum with more subtle references. (Worthy of two sentences)
