Translucent concrete

Translucent concrete is concrete-based building material with embedded light optical elements like optical fibers. Light is conducted through the fibers and therefore the stone from one end to the other.

With natural light, it has to be ensured that enough light is available. Translucent concrete lets just about enough light to pass through it to make it a viable material for reducing power consumption. Hence, it can be used as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete in the near future. Other than its economic and environmental advantages, translucent concrete also makes architecture more visually appealing and increases the overall aesthetic value of a structure.
