"LITRACON", by Aron Losonczi.
To achieve the transculence of concrete, this architect embeds glass fibers into concrete. the shadows casted by the inhabitants of my project can be seen on the other side of the wall. combining this technology with opaque concrete allows me to visually reveal and conceal the person in motion- just as I can reveal and conceal sound; which detects motion audially.
"The hope is that the new material will transform the interior appearance of concrete buildings by making them feel light and airy rather than dark and heavy.
Losonczi, a 27 year old architect from Csongrád recently came up with the idea while he was studying at the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm, Sweden. After demonstrating the material at design exhibitions all over Europe he has now formed a company to commercialize the concept.
His new company, also called LitraCon, is now optimizing its manufacturing methods and hopes to start selling prefabricated blocks of the material later this year."
