Transparent aluminum it's not, but cool nevertheless.

I love how with modern building materials they talk about life spans of decades (10 in this case). Where are the buildings that will still be standing in 1000 years? Oh yeah, they were built 1000's of years ago.

This looks cool but seems like the Ikeaisation of building. Hollow core, prefab crap.

Rant off.

Lol, sorry Black. Didn't mean to piss on your strawberries! I'm probably wrong anyway.

I still think that translucent concrete was a neat invention
