Lila Fredrika Blom is a researcher and designer exploring the intersection of architecture, learning spaces, and sociocultural theory. Her work examines how physical environments shape community engagement and educational experiences.

Key Insights

🔬

Design-Based Research

The project employs iterative design-based research methodology, combining theoretical frameworks with practical implementation to create innovative learning environments that bridge educational theory and real-world application.

💡

Creativity as Foundation

Drawing from Sawyer and Beghetto & Kaufman's research, the laboratory positions creativity not as an optional enhancement but as the fundamental building block for 21st-century learning experiences and pedagogical innovation.

🌐

Mixed Reality Learning

Inspired by UNESCO MGIEP's vision, the project explores how physical and digital spaces can merge to create hybrid learning environments that prepare students for increasingly complex, technology-mediated futures.

🔮

Future-Oriented Education

Aligned with OECD's future scenarios for schooling, the laboratory investigates how educational spaces can adapt to emerging trends, fostering learner agency and preparing students for uncertainty and rapid change.
