Moreover, relationships between individuals and organizations in Dunga Beach as well as the infrastructural elements of the area was mapped out. The other part of the project was performed by the students in Sweden and Switzerland through different ideation and evaluation methods. The project resulted in a design concept consistenting of three main parts: a service design, space design and product design. The products are divided into two categories: the products and dyeing processes of local material.
