Carrara, 12 February
The prestigious Targa Rodolfo Bonetto, started by Marco Bonetto in 1991 in memory of his father Rodolfo, one of the great masters of Italian design, the Exhibition of technology, subcontracting and design for boats, mega yachts and ships, has been held since 2008 at Seatec. Open to students at schools or universities of Design and Architecture all over the world, including young graduates who have written their thesis on a related subject, the competition is divided into two sections: Technological Innovation and Infrastructures.
The competition, announced by Seatec and Design Center, was also open to young graduates who could enter projects in two separate categories: Technological Innovation and Infrastructures.
There were numerous entrants in the 2010 Targa Bonetto and the jury (composed of university professors, designers and journalists) assessed both the formal aspects and the motivations indicated by the designers with a view to identifying the design trends, innovative content compared to the current market level in the area of reference as well as the compositional aspects of the external layout, the interior design and the technological-productive innovation.
In addition to Marco Bonetto, the Jury examining the projects was composed of Roberto Franzoni, SanLorenzo Marketing and Communications Manager, Decio G. R. Carugati, journalist and design critic, Luciano Pagani, designer, Roberto Giolito, style director for Fiat and Tommaso Spadolini, architect and yacht designer.
In the Technological Innovation category, on the theme of "Medium-sized Boats (maximum size of sailing boats 55', motor boats 50'), open or livable. The design and study of the most suitable shape for the use of technology for low cost production, for the possibility of developing a serial production" the winners were:
1st Prize, project MASTER 10 by Knapic Valdi, Krasnac Jure, University of Trieste, Master in Yacht Style and Design with the following motivation: For the innovative design in the 10-metre category, a technologically advanced project with a high quality graphical project.
