OpenFace Day – 24 June 2024 @TU Delft
OpenFace Day is a 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.
Call for Pitches: have you got an idea for an innovative façade system, material, digital tool, circular strategy, or performance concept?
We’re not looking for a patented product: we’re looking for bold, disruptive ideas that can inspire the OPENFACE community!
We invite you to submit your proposal.
Submission requirements:
- Abstract (150–300 words)
- 3 keywords
- 1 image or sketch
Submit your abstract to: openface-bk@tudelft.nl
Subject: “OpenFace Student Competition”
Deadline: Friday, 15 May 2026
15 projects will be invited to pitch onsite at TU Delft on 24 June 2026.
Selected participants will present their façade innovation in a 5-minute pitch: you may use slides, a poster, a prototype, or a combination.
Each pitch will be professionally videotaped and shared with the OpenFace community.
The Best Pitch Award will be announced during the closing BBQ.
