Biography

Rosan Bosch studied at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht, Holland from 1987-1992 with courses from the Facultat de Belles Art at Universitat de Barcelona, Spain.[1] For nearly a decade she worked as a contemporary artist before founding the design studio Bosch & Fjord[2] in 2001 and her current design practice Rosan Bosch Studio in 2010, based in Copenhagen.

Design of learning environments

Rosan Bosch’s work is characterized by an untraditional approach to the design of schools.[3][4][5] Based on six principles, the learning spaces support different ways of learning, working and communicating in an open and shared school space. The sculptural design installations help to direct the interaction and concentration of the students for teamwork, presentations, individual work, creative hands-on tasks or informal learning in the student community.[6]

The approach is giving priority to the students’ learning needs when planning the physical spaces of schools.[7][8] By mixing art, design thinking, architecture and play, the learning environments stimulate innovative thinking and student-centered learning, supporting the pedagogical efforts and the development of 21st Century Skills.

The design of the Swedish Vittra schools is internationally known as an alternative to conventional school spaces.[9][10] Instead of classrooms, large toy-like furnishings act as spatial divisions[11][12] that support flexibility in learning and creative student activities.[13][14]

Public speaker and advisor

Promoting educational change through the designs of schools, Bosch is a public speaker and visiting lecturer at educational forums such as UNESCO forum on education in Mexico,[15][16] Harvard Graduate School of Education,[17] TEDxIndianapolis[18] and Aprendemos Juntos by El Pais.[19] As advisor to the Ministry of Education in Argentina, her studio has developed guidelines for redesigns of the 22,000 secondary schools as part of a national school reform[20][21][22]

Other design work

Bosch has also created design solutions for libraries, hospitals, workspaces and exhibitions. Among clients are LEGO PMD,[23] the children hospital BørneRiget at Rigshospitalet, VELUX[24] and The Childrens Library in Billund.
