UNUSUAL MATERIALS 2

Part 3: !Further Experimentation!

Final Idea

BlingCrete!

!•  Blingcrete combines the positive properties of concrete

•  Retroreflective surfaces precisely reflect incident light back towards the light source

•  Its surface is according to its position, activated by light from both the light source and recipient

•  The properties of BlingCrete open up wide-ranging design possibilities in architecture, interior design or product design

19th century mirrors

Research on Mirrors!The typical mirror is a sheet of glass that is coated on its back with aluminum or silver that produces images by reflection

Research on Mirrors!Challenge: look at the objects found in a common house. How many of those are made of mirror-like materials?
