Understanding the Madeirans - research internships

The goal of this project is to gain an understanding of how the people of Madeira perceive their
physical, cultural and economic environments and how in turn these perceptions guide and
influence their social interactions and their consumption patterns of various goods and services.
The project employs a service design approach. Service design is a design framework that asks you
to open your mind and generate a vision in seeing context in a different light as well as a critical
standpoint on the subject. This approach will allow you to investigate behaviors, be aware of how
things co-related, interpret needs and transform them into potential services.

From time to time we still encounter something that can really surprise us, make us look twice, and still let us doubt our eyes... The Danish artist Peter Callesen is capable of doing that; he creates amazing sculptures from just an A4 sheet of paper.
