| description | Just a few decades ago, concrete was often misunderstood, and captured by its image fixed due to the rapid urbanization of the1960s. However, since that time, scientists have made considerable progress on concrete, not only in technical terms, but also in aesthetic terms. It is no longer the heavy, cold and grey material of the past; it has become beautiful, colored, more resistant and lively. In 2001, the architect AronLosonzi first put the concept of transparent concrete forward, and the first transparent concrete block successfully produced by mixing large amount of glass fiber into concrete in 2003, which can allow 80% light through and only 30% of weight of common concrete. While the transparent concrete mainly focuses on transparency and its objective of application pertains to green technology and artistic finish. Lower energy is commonly associated with buildings whose forms are directly determined from local climatic conditions while those buildings with sophisticated and complex systems are routinely seen as energy hogs, Smart materials are presumed to be direct and discrete substitutes to deliver the elusive solution to the intractable problem of ever increasing energy use by building systems. This research will highlight the transparent concrete development, and using it in the smart houses interior design, rather than restricting their use to external architecture, to enhance the functional, technical, environmental and aesthetic side as well; it will discuss the relationship between the environment and this new material. |
