Let there be light

Concrete casts new light in dull rooms

The days of dull, grey concrete could be about to end. A Hungarian architect has combined the world’s most popular building material with optical fiber from Schott to create a new type of concrete that transmits light.

This is a beautiful invention. I wonder if you'll be able to tailor it to your designs, like having more optic fibre in some places over others? The variation in density of light you could create a whole new architectural art form.

Thanks to Sri for "brightening" my day with this article... arf!
