The Misr Islamic Cultural Center, which is known as “Masjid Misr” is one of the most important institutions with integrated services in the first phase of the city, where the project is built on an area of 191 thousand meters.
The “Masjid Misr” contains 2 minarets, 140 meters above the surface of the plateau. Each minaret is composed of two circular shells the inner shell that houses the elevators, and the outer shell housing the external structure. The curved nature of the shells posed a logistical threat to the project, as curving wood is very complicated, and its rate of casts is very low, which meant a huge constraint on time and economics of the project.
Acrow CURVY board again provided the smart alternative, casting over 45 casts with minimal waste, and providing the requested curvature with exquisite high-quality finishes.
