The project was launched in July 2008 & If completed would become the world's biggest public art project. Temenos was the first sculpture to be compl;eted in 2010. It is approximately 110 m long and 50 m high. The steel structure consists of a pole, a circular ring and an oval ring, all held together by steel wire.
