PRECISION
Precision defines project quality. Clarity, consistency and technical rigor guide both design and presentation.
INNOVATION
Innovation sets the limits of design. Efficiency, consumption and performance are core evaluation criteria, not optional features.
COURSE
Every project defines a clear course. From concept to submission, each choice follows a coherent and intentional direction.
SYSTEM
Projects are designed as systems. Hull, structure, energy and use are evaluated as interconnected parts, not as isolated elements.
