= 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. 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.
This methodology attempts to prioritizes the learning needs of students in the development of school spaces. 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.
