Biography

Rosan Bosch is a designer and artist who studied at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht, Netherlands, from 1987 to 1992, and also undertook courses at the Facultat de Belles Arts at the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain.[1] Before transitioning to the field of design, Bosch spent approximately ten years working as a contemporary artist. In 2001, she co-founded the design studio Bosch & Fjord.[2] Later, in 2010, Bosch established a design practice, Rosan Bosch Studio, headquartered in Copenhagen.

Design of learning environments

Rosan Bosch's design philosophy for schools is marked by emphasizing the creation of learning spaces that support various methods of learning and communication in open, communal areas.[3] [4] [5] Her designs are founded on six general principles that aim to facilitate different types of student interactions and focus, ranging from group collaboration to individual study, as well as creative and informal learning activities.[6]

This methodology attempts to prioritizes the learning needs of students in the development of school spaces.[7] [8] It integrates elements from art, design thinking, architecture, and play to create environments that encourage innovative thinking and are centered around student engagement. These designs aim to support educational goals and the development of skills relevant to the 21st century.

Her work on the Swedish Vittra schools is an example of her approach, which replaces traditional classroom structures with large, toy-like furniture that serves as flexible spatial dividers, promoting adaptable learning setups and creative student activities.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Public speaker and advisor

Rosan Bosch actively contributes to the discourse on educational change through her role as a public speaker and visiting lecturer. She has participated in various educational forums, including the UNESCO forum on education in Mexico,[15] Harvard Graduate School of Education,[16] TEDxIndianapolis,[17] and Aprendemos Juntos organized by El Pais.[18] In addition to these speaking engagements, Bosch has served as an advisor to the Ministry of Education in Argentina. In this capacity, her studio was tasked with developing guidelines for the redesign of the country's 22,000 secondary schools, a significant component of a national school reform initiative.[19] [20] [21]

Other design work

Bosch has also created designs for libraries, hospitals, workspaces and exhibitions, such as LEGO PMD,[22] the children hospital BørneRiget at Rigshospitalet, VELUX[23] and The Children's Library in Billund.
