TDA 2026 - Home Feature Your Project Terracotta Facades Terracotta Futures Terracotta Reimagined
Competetion Category Terracotta Facades
Creative facade solutions using terracotta in unexpected ways.

Facade design where terracotta is the primary material of the building's external skin. Any typology: public, private, or residential. The measure is whether terracotta is doing genuine design work in how the building presents itself, performs climatically, and relates to its context.

Eligible Project Types
  • Residential facades
  • Commercial and office facades
  • Public and institutional facades
  • Hospitality and mixed-use
  • Any built typology where the facade is the primary site of terracotta design thinking
What Strengthens Your Submission?
  • Terracotta is integral to the facade design, not applied as a finish
  • The facade shapes the building's identity, climate performance, or spatial experience
  • Considered material logic: how terracotta responds to sun, wind, light, and view
  • Quality detailing and execution at the level of the joint, module, and surface
  • The design responds to local climate, regional craft traditions, or its specific context
  • Environmental claims are supported by documentation or measurable data
  • Work that is kind to the earth is stronger when it can show how
