Sanctuary in a Loud World: Prospect, Refuge and Feng Shui

Stress has been normalized in the built environment—and our nervous systems are paying for it. In this video, I examine prospect–refuge theory, and normalization to explain why humans require the ability to find sanctuary in space. Drawing from environmental psychology, neuroscience, feng shui, I break down how environments communicate safety or threat—often outside conscious awareness—and how chronic exposure to certain spatial conditions keeps the stress response activated. You’ll learn: How prospect–refuge supports threat assessment, orientation, and perceived control How normalization of overstimulation shifts baseline stress physiology The role of enclosure, escape, sightlines, and boundary clarity Where feng shui aligns with modern research on flow, load, and spatial coherence
