Abstract

The technological evolution in materials technology resulted in 
modern materials developed its improvement, and preservation
of the environment and energy. In addition, to the creative side
in the design process, to achieve modern environmental design
thinking. This commensurate the environmental requirements. 
From here emerges the search problem on how to use the 
traditional construction materials, to become as transparent
concrete technology, developed through the amendment by the
addition to the concrete work on changing its characteristics
and advantages.This opens the different fields of applications in 
architecture, interior architecture, furniture design creative and 
innovative thinking, interactions between the building and its 
environment. As the research aims to identify the material 
transparent concrete (as the building material developed) andhow 
to combine the advantages of concrete construction with 
permeable natural light, this reduces energy consumption. With 
rapid urbanization in line, with population growth and many 
nearby buildings from one another. This reduces the passage of 
natural sunlight by developing special concrete material and 
construction materials focus study.
