The enchanting melody of the Call to Prayer stirs deep devotion and connects believers to their spiritual essence. It traverses time and tradition, unifying communities with its soul-stirring resonance. In this article, we delve into the visionary plans of Dubai, a city renowned for its ambitious projects, as it leads the way in 3D printed mosque construction. At Creed and Bear, we are more than just an asset management company. We are delighted to be present in Dubai, supporting initiatives like the 3D printed mosque, as we envision a future in alignment with Dubai's 2030 vision.
Dubai's groundbreaking project involves the construction of the world's first 3D printed mosque. This remarkable endeavor showcases the transformative potential of 3D printed concrete, offering a glimpse into the future of mosque architecture as well as architecture in general. The mosque is expected to be completed in 2025 and will embody the fusion of innovation and spirituality, welcoming up to 600 worshippers.
3D printing, a process of creating three-dimensional objects from digital designs, presents a host of benefits for construction:
Affordability: 3D printing reduces the cost of construction by utilizing custom-made parts and optimizing material usage. This can make buildings more accessible to communities.
Sustainability: 3D printing creates energy-efficient buildings with reduced material waste and lower carbon emissions. This is beneficial for the environment.
Design flexibility: With 3D printing, architects can explore intricate and unique designs that push the boundaries of architecture, blending creativity with functionality.
Customization: 3D printing can be used to tailor buildings to specific community needs, enabling enhancements for accessibility and incorporating cultural nuances.
Adaptability: 3D printed buildings can easily adapt to changing community requirements, expanding or contracting as needed.
The future of 3D printed mosques holds tremendous promise:
Cultural Preservation: 3D printing preserves the rich heritage of historical mosques by faithfully replicating intricate architectural features and decorative elements, honoring the legacy of craftsmanship.
Adaptive Architecture: Mosque designs can evolve to meet the evolving needs of communities, fostering inclusivity and flexibility to accommodate changing congregation sizes and spatial requirements.
Collaborative Creation: By fostering collaboration between architects, engineers, and technologists, 3D printed mosques become captivating works of art, blending cultural heritage with innovative design concepts.
In conclusion, as we witness the mesmerizing interplay between technology and religion, the realm of mosque architecture stands on the cusp of a remarkable transformation. Through the visionary use of 3D printing, mosques can be constructed with unprecedented affordability, sustainability, and design flexibility. This harmonious fusion of ancient traditions and cutting-edge innovation ushers in a new era where spirituality and technological advancements dance in unison. Join us on this captivating journey, where the ethereal whispers of the Call to Prayer harmonize with the boundless possibilities of 3D printing.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model.
