The complete act of design.
Full Form is a competition that evaluates how designers think, research, and develop ideas into architecture. It is not only about final results — it is about the design process.

The terms of engagement.
Competitors must follow the designated Full Form sequence. Stages cannot be skipped or reordered.
Major stages of development must be documented. The process is the competition.
All submitted work must be the competitor’s own, unless the competition rules explicitly allow collaboration or external material.
Major iterations should remain documented. Evolution is evaluated, not only the final object.
Each phase must be submitted by its designated deadline. Late submissions are not evaluated.
The final submission must contain both the final design and the documented process — the complete Full Form.
