Translucent Concrete: How-to see-through walls? Using nano optics and mixing fine concrete and optical fibers for illumination during day and night time
About this ebook
Translucent concrete is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements — usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore, the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results in a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Shadows cast onto one side appear as silhouettes through the material.
