First to recommend
LiTraCon, a new building material invented by architect Áron Losonczi, stands for light-transmitting concrete. It is made by sandwiching thousands of tiny optical fibers in fine concrete. The particular way that the material transmits light throws the shadows of objects behind it into sharp relief, as though on a screen. LiTraCon is currently available as prefab blocks or panels, and has been used to create walls, signage, lighting and even a monument in Losonczi’s native Hungary. (via Elements of Living)

This is really cook transparent concrete. You can add things behind it such as trees, etc and created really nice shadows or residential or commercial spaces. Great for partition walls.
