Yesterday I walked through Shhh Pavilion: The Hopekeeper.
What’s that?
Shhh Pavilion: The Hopekeeper is the unusual name of a very cool sculpture that rises in recently opened Progress Park. Progress Park is located in downtown San Diego near the waterfront, at the corner of Broadway and Harbor Drive.
The beautiful new park is part of the Research and Development District (RaDD) complex. The sculpture is part of the RaDD Artwalk. It was commissioned by IQHQ, through the City of San Diego Art in Private Development program.
The creator of this very unique public art is gt2P (Great things to People), a Santiago de Chile based collaborative studio collective.
This unusual sculpture is a geometric structure that utilizes something called Voronoi tessellation. The mathematical concept is nicely described on this webpage.
Until recently, the new park was surrounded by a construction fence. But yesterday I noticed the fence was down. So I had to walk under and through the sculpture with my camera!

We live nearby, and walked past it last night – you might post a night shot, as the lighting makes it standout nicely after dark. It is especially nice for the hotel guest and restaurant visitors to the area. We are so excited to have the park finally open after being fenced off for a year. Also we finally note some construction in the RADD buildings. Looks like some of the office space is being fitted out.

Thanks for the comment! I actually posted night photos of the sculpture back when the park was still fenced. I suppose I’ll have to walk through it at night!
