Solar Material

Solar material: Sun + Sand = Glass. Sintering silica constituents of desert sand together using the heat from concentrated solar radiation creates a glass-like material, the production of which is extremely sustainable. Research has been conducted into the material properties and subsequently on its potential as a (structural) building material. Finally an architectural design was conceived in which several different structural applications of the material are explored and tested.
