MKM and the project team have completed design drawings for the preservation and rehabilitation of the Temple of the Sky pool at Untermyer Park and Gardens. The former ziggurat shaped swimmimg pool below the Temple of the Sky will be converted to a shallow reflective pool by installing a reinforced concrete within it. Existing mosaics will be left in place for their archaeological value, and will be faithfully replicated on the sides and floor of the new pool. The mechanical system will be upgraded with new piping equipment; water will be heated to keep the pool from freezing in winters.
