Open Design: Projects whose final form is ‘open’, liable to change (physically or digitally), and whose underlying purpose is creation or recreation by the end-user, either through production (ex. 3D Printing), assembly (ex. DIY), or personal customization.

This year’s Open Design Jury Team was captained by Dan Chen, a technology investigator, improvisational engineer, and interaction designer. Joining him on the panel were Brian Kane, Professor at RISD, James Coleman, Research and Development Engineer at Zahner, Jifei Ou, a designer, researcher, and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab, and Nadya Peek, a postdoctoral associate at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms.
