Participations: |
On 1st of December there was the awards ceremony of the InnovateItaly Altera Design Contest, 2011 edition.The celebration was in Villa Trivulzio, an architectural jewel in Omate (www.villatrivulzio.it). |
 |
68 contest participants |
|
22 different groups subscribed the Innovation contest |
|
Up to 8 different Italian Universities |

The examination of the submitted papers led to the selection of 13 finalists. Among the 13 finalists we selected the top three.
The ranking among them was pretty difficult since all of them were very valuable
The evaluation was based on the following criteria: |
|
Design Concept |
| |
1.Complexity
2.Functionality |
|
Design Implementation |
|
Documentation |
