Overview
editAbdulaziz Abdullah Sharbatly Mosque was inaugurated on 6 March 2024.[7] It is the first mosque in the world that was constructed using 3D printing technology.[8][9][10] The 4 printers used in 3D printing technology were manufactured by China-based Hangzhou GuanLi Company.[11] The mosque was designed by Mohammed bin Adam al-Suqair and was built as part of several projects overseen by the National Housing Company, the investment arm of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing.[12] It was a brainchild of Wajnat Abdulwahed, the widow of Saudi Arabian businessman and equestrian Abdulaziz Abdullah Abbas Sharbatly, after whom the mosque is named. Wajnat is the CEO of Fursan Real Estate,[13] the company that took part in the construction, which took six months in total. The design of the open outdoor area of the mosque was inspired by Hijr Ismail, also known as Hateem, beside the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque in Mecca and incorporates elements of traditional Hejazi architecture while adhering to the values of the King Salman Urban Charter.[14][15]
The mosque got completed almost one year before the planned construction of the world's first 3D printed mosque in Dubai, which was slated to be built by 2025.[16][17][18]
