OpenFace Day – 24 June 2026 @TU Delft

OpenFace Day – 24 June 2026 @TU Delft

OpenFace Day is hands-on showcase of new ideas shaping the future of façade design and engineering: from circular materials and adaptive systems to performance-driven prototypes and digital workflows.
We are also celebrating the launch of the Open Face MicroMaster, marking an exciting milestone for our community.
This will be a hybrid event. While it will take place onsite at TU Delft, the event will be livestreamed, allowing remote participants and audiences to follow and join the presentations in real time.
*More details on how to access the livestream will be shared closer to the date of the event.
