Translucent concrete, also known as light transmitting concrete, is a concrete-based building material that has light-transmissive properties due to the uniform distribution of optical fibers throughout its body. It was invented in 2001 by an architect who was inspired by an art installation combining concrete and glass. Some advantages are its ability to transmit light, improved strength over conventional concrete, and good aesthetic and architectural qualities. However, it has higher costs due to the optical fibers and requires skilled labor for casting. Applications include floors, walls, pavements, and illuminated structures like speed bumps. Existing structures using this material are The Europe Gate statue in Hungary and a door made of translucent panels at a site in Pecs, Hungary.
