konkreiam
Konkreiam is a proposed construction material described in architectural research as a lightweight, high-strength substitute for traditional concrete. It is presented as a multi-phase composite with the aim of combining structural capacity with tunable optical properties, such as translucency, to enable new architectural expressions. The term is not widely standardized or adopted in mainstream industry and there is no official specification under existing building codes.
Proposed composition and properties include a matrix based on a mineral or ceramic binder, combined with particulate
Manufacturing and usage: In experimental contexts, konkreiam is described as being cast or 3D-printed in molds
