'Lightracon'

'Transparent concrete'
Fibre optics within the concrete moulding allow light to pass from one side of the concrete to the other, Interesting opportunites making 'hybrid' materials.
Could be particularly interesting when used within a building, with people walking on either side of the wall making shadows and other effects.

This material could also be usefull in creating a temporary sensory room, combining fibre optics in a similar way in a more lightweight material forming panels which could form a partitioning wall allows for lights to be shon onto the rear face, creating a more diffused effect on the inside.
