Plaza de Cesar Chavez Plaza
San Jose, California
Metaphoric references to the city’s agricultural past and technological advances coalesce in a dynamic public open space — the principal focal image for the cultural and commercial renaissance of San Jose. A morning fog of mist emanates from the interactive fountain and evolves throughout the day, eventually becoming splashing columns of water that are illuminated from within at night. The 2.5-acre park teems with lunchtime users and families on a day to day basis and during frequent civic events and cultural festivals.
